It seems there were already a number of opponents of cp in schools around this time and a Committee for the Abolition of Corporal Punishment In Schools had been formed. Wildman, however, was having none of it and formed a counter organisation entitled The National Society For The Retention Of Corporal Punishment In Schools. He also formed the Corpun Educational Organisation Limited.

Apart from manufacturing implements of chastisement he also produced some literary material and was editor of a fortnightly review called The Retentionist. His literary output, however, was not of a high quality being filled with the same recurring cliches, anecdotes and spelling mistakes.
