Lyman School Head Defends Board on Punishment Bill
Superintendent Chapin of the Lyman School for Boys tells a Post reporter he will attend any hearing on Representative Sullivan’s bill to abolish corporal punishment. He says the school runs smoothly with about 812 boys and defends the rubber tubing discipline as safe and necessary. Mrs. George, a nearby resident, alleges lashings and counts 12 lashes on Dec. 11, a claim contradicted by school records noted by Chairman Walker. The Georges vow to back Sullivan and seek former inmates’ testimony.
