School Corporal Punishment History88

 

Waugh and Andrew made investigations and poked through lies or evasion until they found the culprits. They made them bring money to school to pay for the windows and, as punishment for telling lies, gave them the option of voluntarily leaving the school – it was not the same as expulsion, Andrew explained – or of accepting a flogging. Several chose the flogging. Waugh approved of this punishment and Andrew had to give it. One of the boys, a twelve-year-old named Albert Pilley, was hit severely.
