I maintain that this is true even of great teachers, for their record has been written by one of the picked minority of pupils, who have been able to follow their reasoning; the rest, with characteristic modesty, ascribed the failure to their own deficiencies. The truth, I suspects is that no two human beings learn to think alike, but the theory of classtenching asunies they do.

Public schools and all boarding schools illustrate a national peculiarity of ours. I said above that people believe anything about any institution. The odd thing is that while they believe something they act on the opposite without knowing that they are doing so.

I doubt if any boys require discipline so surely as the Anglo-Saxon boys. Prob sbly the same remark applies to the Teutonic stock at large, among whom in-1st class dividualism is rampant. But it is a real calamity that at this time we are filled with horror at the results of the insen sate corporate training of the German boys and girls, and consequently aro driven to imagine that character can be trained without such essentials as obedi.. ence and a good deal of hard overcoming of difficulties.
