A remarkable substitute for the' “Dunce’s Cap” has been adopted by the female teacher at one of the country schools in the Auckland district, and, according to a statement made at the test meeting of the Board (says the “Auckland Herald’’), the teacher had lately forced a pupil, as a punish; moot for neglecting homo work, to suck a child’s “dummy” in front of his class-mates. It was stated, that the “dummy” was thoroughly cleaned, after, each occasion on which it was used, but the Board condemned the practice in emphatic terms, it being, described by one. member as “insanitary and disgusting.” It was resolved to inform the teacher that her. action was considered to be deserving, of severe censure. ■ ' : ’ ' ; ■ ,
