September
12, 1912 – A petition begging the State Bureau for Child and
Animal Protection to proceed against Miss Gertrude Storey, principal of the
Onamia School, Onamia, Minn., for violating the state law relating to cruelty
towards children, was received by the State Humane Society today. The petition
was signed by 19 parents of children in the Onamia school district who charge
the teacher with having beaten pupils with a rubber hose and compelling them to
chew paper.
