People older than me still tell me their horror stories of teachers too fond of the cane from 50 years ago, and how they terrorised them. It took 3 generations for kids to finally suffer from worse.
The name of the paddle was 'Killer'. Was a 2x6 with one end shaped into a handle, and the striking end had one inch holes drilled to increase impact. You had to stand 4 feet from the wall, then lean in with arms extended. The paddle was swung like a baseball bat, and was applied on a whim.
