Object of Discipline.

School discipline is not for punish
ment. but for moral effect. The teach
er's authority is not the thing to be
vindicated. but the pupils character
is to be formed. The moral effect upon
the pupil. upon the school rs Il whole
upon the community. and upon the
future through the pupils are the ends
to be sought. The school has Il work
TO d. that cannot be done by the teach
ing he it never so efficient. There is
an influence to be eXerted upon the
character that can only come through
habitual discipline of the school in the
true sense. Not through a system of
punishments. not through Il system of
rewards o. checks. but through the
direction of the conduct. the choices.
and activities of the pupils are teach
ers to accomplish this character work
