Book Overview

The Evil Tendencies Of Corporal Punishment As A Means Of Moral Discipline: In Families And Schools, Examined And Discussed is a book written by Lyman Cobb in 1847. The book discusses the use of corporal punishment in families and schools as a means of moral discipline. Cobb examines the negative effects of corporal punishment on children, arguing that it can lead to physical and emotional harm, as well as a lack of respect for authority figures. He also discusses alternative methods of discipline, such as positive reinforcement and communication. The book is a critique of the prevailing attitudes towards corporal punishment in the mid-19th century and serves as a call to action for parents and educators to reconsider their methods of discipline.In Two Parts Consisting Of Objections To The Use Of The Rod; And Substitutes For, And Prevention Of, The Use Of The Rod; With An Appendix.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
