To turn up punctually in the morning would never occur to them. 4. They have no confidence in themselves, nor do they think it necessary to acquire any, 5. They are always asking questions, and never seeiu able to remember the answers thereto, considering tlie number of times they ask the same thing. (i.

One would think, to look at thorn, they were in a state bordering on coma. tf. Thev never learn anything from their mistake-, nor from anything else. When they do auything right, it is by accident, not design. II). They never dare act upon their own judgment, nor do they trouble to learn how.
