Self discipline Importan
in Educational Scheme

Asked what the really great things
are which mankind has won in the
last thousand years, the imagfna-
ton PUSHES to all kinds of technical
wonders. Steamships and the rail-
ways are pictured, and further back
the gunpowder and the printing press;
we admire the great cities which men
have built and the canals which they
have dug; and there seems no end to
the glorious achievements. But when
we begin to think seriously and pierce
IA little deeper, we soon discover that
all these outer things are, after all,
less important and less decisive than
some of the inner great changes which
have come to mankind. The message
of love which religion brought, the
gospel of freedom, the spirit OF cul-
ture, the belief in the blessing OF
work, the awaking of the social CON
science. have all changed the world
more than any of the outer wonders.
Every great revolution has come from
the human heart.
1t is not different when he think:
What is the really great need OF to-
day. What ought to be changed to
make our life more worth living and
to raise our nation to unprecedented
heights? OF course, much might be
improved in our surroundings. Many
inventions might serve us; many
measures might help us; and yet the
greatest must still come from with
in. We need again a great new mes
sage to stir the soul OF the nation.
We have the spirit OF freedom and Of
love and of work and Of good will.
Yet there is something deeply wrong
with our time, and q better tomorrow
can be hoped for only II q great
change comes to our inner world.
The thousand social ailments of our
day can be cured only by one remedy

will of one man on another. There
is a nobled kind Of discipline man
is to become his own master, instead
Of being a slave to the tyranny of his
low and cheap desires.
1t was different in the past Amer
lean life of earlier periods was mod
est, hard and under the authority Of
the church. The puritanic spirit held
the masses in firm control, and the
simplicity of the rigid pioneer life
checked the frivolous mind. But the
world has moved on. The country
has become abundantly rich; a love
of luxury has overlooked the nation.
Gigantic cities have swollen up, and
the craving for pleasure has spread
from the white ways of the big towns
to the smallest village. The church
has lost much Of its hold, the old
faith has crumbled, and the nation
has replaced it by the n great creed
fof efficiency. Of success, of worldlf-
ness.
The new-fashioned scheme begins
in the school days-nay, even In the
nursery. The child no longer learns
to submit to q stern command, but Is
welcome to do as he pleases. He isi
sometimes begged to change his mind,
sometimes persuaded and sometimes
bribed, but he has seldom q chance to

They learn a thousand petty things

which makes life worth living-to do
their duty. Is it surprising that this

all channels Of our public life?
