NRS-20620 | Punishment book [Murrumbateman Public School]

Regulations under the Public Schools Act of 1866 (30 Vic. No.22), adopted by the Council of Education on 27 February 1867 regulated the publishment of children in schools by stipulating 'In the government of the pupils, all degrading and injurious punishments are to be avoided. The Teacher's discipline must be mild but firm, his manner kindly, his demeanour cheerful and calculated to gain the confidence of his pupils, and his language marked by strict propriety. While he should overlook no offence, his aim should be to prevent the necessity for punishment by the improvement of the offender. In relation to corporal punishment the regulations continue: 'Corporal punishment should be inflicted in extreme cases only, and then as a last resource; and the teacher must keep a record of the time and place at which pupils were corporally chastised, the amount of such punishment and the nature of the offence.' Uniform stationery soon evolved to enable compliance with these regulations. These punishment books are registers of all punishments given to pupils. The information it details includes: the pupil's name, nature of offence, amount of punishment (i.e. number of strokes), [the instrument of punishment (almost invariably the cane)], by whom sent, the date of the punishment, and by whom the punishment was inflicted.Custody HistoryThis series was previously held by the School House Museum at Ryde.

1866年《公立学校法案》（Public Schools Act of 1866，编号30 Vic. No.22）项下之条例，于1867年2月27日由教育委员会（Council of Education）通过，该条例对学校学生的管教工作作出规范，其中明确规定：「在学生管理中，一切有辱人格且造成身心伤害的惩戒手段均需避免。教师的管教方式应温和而坚定，态度需和蔼可亲，举止应乐观开朗，以赢得学生的信任，其言谈需严格合乎礼仪规范。教师虽不应姑息任何违纪行为，但核心目标应是通过感化违纪者，从根源上避免惩戒的必要。」针对体罚，该条例进一步规定：「体罚仅可在极端情形下使用，且需作为最后的补救手段；教师必须详细记录学生遭受体罚的时间、地点、惩戒强度以及违纪行为的性质。」为便于遵守上述条例要求，统一格式的惩戒记录专用文具很快应运而生。此类惩戒记录册为所有学生所受惩戒的登记台账，其所记载的信息包括：学生姓名、违纪行为性质、惩戒强度（即鞭打次数）、[惩戒工具（几乎均为藤条）]、惩戒发起者、惩戒实施日期以及惩戒执行者。保管历史：该系列档案此前由莱德（Ryde）的校舍博物馆（School House Museum）收藏。
