A NOVEL THAT HAS BECOME A CLASSIC OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION

A story that savagely exposes a burning problem

"He saw West's fists doubled and hard, saw the animal look that had come on Belazi's face, and again the knife, threatening and sharp. . .The noise grew louder and Rick grasped in his mind for a picture of the Roman arena, tried to to rise, felt pain sear through his right arm. . .He's cut me, he thought with panic. Belazi has cut me. . .THIS IS IT. . .THIS IS REALLY IT."

' I can assure you Spare The Rod is as nothing compared with the description of life in a similar New York school given in The Blackboard Jungle'.
- DAVID HOLLOWAY
