I don’t believe that the cane was used very often in that school. Sometimes we would hear on the grapevine that someone had been given “four of the best”, it was usually four rather than six; but this didn’t happen very often. These formal canings, entered in the punishment book, were given by the senior master, and possibly also by the headmistress, though I don’t know for certain. I once accidentally saw such a caning, given in an empty classroom by the senior master, because I happened to be walking past the door (which had a glass panel) at the time; a boy was being caned on his hand.
