the rod. Whether the satisfaction arises from the discovery, after a fair experiment, of the actual superiority of the new system ; or whether it proceeds from a vivid recollection of the energetic measures employed by the old disciplinarians in spur- ring the sluggish intellect, and administering correction to the refractory ; and a disposition to shield the objects of fondness and affection from similar inflictions ; are questions still in pro- gress of solution. But this is undeniably true, ...that moral sua- sion will be utterly ineffective, without some conception of human character. Ignorance upon this point neutralizes the effect of the best instruction. That system of discipline which will render one youth an ornament to society, may qualify another to be a ringleader in every species of vice and sensual- ity. Stern and unsparing reproof, may goad the sensitive mind to desperation. The reckless offender heeds not the gentle admonition, and continued lenity inspires him with contempt for the authority so lightly imposed.
