Sir Walter Runciman's recently expressed objections to "the drawing-room idea of training boys for sea-service" are not things to be shoved aside without a second thought thereto. There has been evidence enough, during the past quarter of a contury, that at least an influential, and perhaps a numerically strong-seotion of the British public had its way, all the good old measures which hardoned and strengthened the race, which disciplined it and tanght it endurance and patience, and which made of it one of the greatest Powers in the world's history, would all be abandoned. First one custom or institution has been attacked, then another; discipline has been stigmatised as torture, sport as degrading cruelty, lawful and reasonable punishment as persecation.
