CADGING is COMMON

The ultimate end of this cadging
creature is that he is packed on to
the colonies by his people. where he
becomes a remittance mana gentle
man Of leisure, who IL paid by remit
tances sent out from home to keep
away from home.
In South Africa, Australia and
Canada the number Of remittance
men il always increasing.
where does the fault lief What
is wrong with our system Of education
that II breeds such men?
In my opinion. there is too much
softness and kindness In the public
schools and home life Of the present
day.
Men who live on somebody else
and complain that they do not know
what to do with themselves are the
products of this gentle system Of edu-
cation"
There are various forms Of cadg-
ing" said a West End clubman who is
keenly interested in all social prob
lens. Men nowadays do not hest,
tate to accept presents in the form Of
cigars or wine from mere acquain-
tances.
well to do men make a habit of
cadging cigars and dinners, leaving
you to pay the taxicab and perform
ing other little acts OF meanness.
Twenty years ago the spirit of Eng.
lish society was one of sturdy indie
pendence and insularity; today a lord
will cadge cigarettes from another
man.
The only method Of exterminating
the 'cadging creature is a more rigor-
Gus. disciplined education for our
British youth"
