"Discipline in School and Cloister" by Dr. Jacobus X. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the use of corporal punishment within educational and religious institutions, tracing its historical roots from ancient times to contemporary practices. The book is likely to interest readers who are drawn to discussions about discipline, educational methods, and societal values surrounding authority and punishment throughout history. The opening of the
text sets the stage by highlighting the pervasive role of flogging in education and the church, portraying it as a commonly accepted norm through references to various historical figures and societal sentiments. It presents arguments and quotations from thinkers such as Quintilian and Plutarch who opposed flogging, juxtaposed with those who endorsed it as a necessary tool for discipline.
