ISCIPLINE Is something which is
supposed TO begin at home, like

left TO the high school teacher One Of
the most aggravating things in the
teachers life is TO make the acquaint-
snee Of a petulant pupil who never ran
into any discipline at home and who
refuses to recognize it in the school
room. II more discipline and fewer
latin verbs were introduced into the
average high school course the rules
would not be broken with so much
regularity and the damp paper wad
would lose its influence as a deadly
weapon
