MANLIUS ll indulged at home, and, as a whole, are rather less tractable. -Hence, we have been led to adopt the military system, with its steady regularity and impartiality, its wide room for graduation of responsibilities, its traditions of fidelity to honor and its forceful appeal to the imagination. We trace its permanent influence in the after careers of our graduates. To keep a boy in an atmosphere like that must be of cardinal importance in his career. Such an esprit de corps in a school is a priceless possession. It enables us to make the discipline open and frank, to discuss and explain matters with our boys, and to appeal with confidence to their sense of justice. Public opinion in the School is sufficiently organized to make grave breaches of discipline sure of general reprobation and speedy discovery. The self-governing instinct and atmosphere for things right, and the public opinion against things wrong, are as valuable as the influence and example of the members of the Faculty. In maintaining the hold over our boys, we place the greatest dependence upon the close touch and cordial relation between teacher and pupil. The barrier between them is so -far broken down that it scarcely exists. One of the pleasantest features of this co-operation is the keen zest, the joyous energy in common interest that characterizes the School. Strangers are sure to notice the eagerness and alertness of our boys. Unrestrained freedom and imitation of college life, without self- government and college spirit, make the result of attendance at some of the larger civilian schools precarious. On the other hand, there is a multi- tude of smaller schools which err, with the best of intentions, in the opposite direction, by treating grown-up boys as children, and by oppress- ing them with unreasonable rules. Our method has avoided both extremes, and as a result our boys have a spirit and dignity of bearing and action not often found in a preparatory school. The Gentle Discipline . As too much study might warp a boy, too much athletics make him muscle-bound, and too much military make him automatic, so extremes are avoided, a cheerful home life is interjected, and a happy social condi- tion is made to harmonize the system. Teachers live with boys and get close to them, honor and reward take the place of punishment. A boy's self-respect is cherished and self-confidence promoted.
