Therefore, in enumerating the advantages of boys' clubs in general, it is necessary for the critic to go from one club to another ; for in no single club can the strong points of all be found in harmonious combination. The Heads gain much from the discipline en- forced. They have been much in need of it since they left school, and, if it is exercised by a man whom they like and admire, they will acquiesce in it readily enough, and soon forget that they ever found it irksome. This club disciplin...e reminds Bill the Conqueror of many things that he would other- 158 ACROSS THE BRIDGES wise ignore. Punctuality, both in payment of sub- scription and attendance at some necessary meeting, reliability in performing any duties allotted to him, readiness to abide by authority and to bury a grievance for the sake of the club, are habits only learned by the rigid enforcement of club rules. These are virtues often missing in the boy who is successful at games and easily popular with all his kind. He has taken his prominence for granted, and done little to repay admiration.
