DISCIPLINE.

A story Is told ct boy from one Of
the training camps who returned home
for visit and overheard his father tell
younger son to fix the furnace. The
led objected, and the father promise
him quarter if he would obey. Where
upon the embryo soldier remarked:
Father, the discipline in this house is
perfectly rotten"
If it will serve as a corrective to the
''rotten" discipline prevailing in so
many homes, military training must
commend itself to all who recognize
the handicap with which many undis-
ciplined boys and girls start out in life
The present enforced training of mil
lions of men, the fathers of the future,
will also have served an added purpose.
The fragrant lack Of discipline among
the youth of today, who. one sometimes
feels, scarcely know the meaning of
the word obey" necessarily leads to
grayer forms of INSTRUMENTATION in
other affairs. and the next step, disre-
gard for law, IS dangerously easy. All
teachers know that school children
give the measure of obedience 10 school
authorities that they are trained IN at
home. And it has long been notorious
that this measure is often dangerously
little.
Unfortunately, the military training
our boys are getting will not materially
affect existing conditions in the homo.
Present lack of discipline, however.
will be materially affected by the train
ing the fathers of the next generation
of boys and girls are now getting. And
there is promise of better things with
that next generation, when our present
soldiers shall have homes of their own.
They at least will scarcely be willing to
Dribe their children into obedience.
