AN EARL ON REASONABLE DISCIPLINE.
“It is ail iimviso seutiniontalfty which pampers the criminal, the thriftless, and the loafer at the expense of the honest and the hard-working. It is an unwise sentimentality which unnecessarily interferes between patent and child, and between teacher and scholar in the maintenance of a reasonable discipline,” writes the Earl ol Meath in his hook, “ Brabazon I otpourri.” “All these influences,” he adds, “are tending to destroy the moral fibre of the race—to produce soft, flabby, self-indulgent, conceited, self-centred men and women—discontented with the world, and attributing their failures not to their own faults and weaknesses, but to the .injustice ot the world in which they live. Ihe strong, disciplined men and women will overcome circumstances and wrencii success from the very grasp of failure.
