good old times were perfect, and boys and girls were all nice little ives" people, hurry to correct it. There was more obedience but there was more unhappiness, too and more craft.
 Discipline" Is Not
 Just Punishment
 There is so much to be said about discipline that we shall have to take it step by step and talk over subjects as they come. The first, however, should be an untangling of meanings. Discipline does not mean punishment. It implies, rather, installing in the boy or girl sense of obligation to do right and to con- form to orders with, or without, the spoken word.
 Discipline comes from disciple" And disciple" means pupil. One who believes and practices the teachings of another"
 One authority explains that dis cipline is the strict and REGULAR mental and moral training and de- velopment of character Another gives submission to control" The last one names both, but adds as corollary, corrective measures. Which does mean punishment, doesn't it? But punishment is cor rective for undiscipline. It can be both constructive and destructive. It is only useful when it leaves the child better off than he was before. Fairness and Firmness
 Essense of Leadership
 If there is to be pupil, there must be a teacher. And the first quality of a good teacher is lead ership. Mother, you need not feel abashed by this rather martial term. You need not put on hel- met or spurs in order to qualify. That quiet, gentle voice of yours need not be lifted, even. You can be a first class leader by just us- ing sign language, if you like just a nod and a smile. All the children need to know is that YOU KNOW. And that you mean what you say when you say it.
 Your best captains will be the children themselves. Once they know you to be fair, and that you
