VICTORIAN DISCIPLINE WANTED
(From a Reuter Correspondent) LONDON, December 10. In 'Queen Victoria’s spacious days the flash of an eye from above that bushy moustache of father’s was enough to send the most unruly- cfHld crawling for safety behind the sofa. The Home Secretary, Mr James Cnuter Ede, whose department is responsible for the good behaviour of the citizens of Britain, wishes that these days were back. Modern children. he said at a dinner in aid of a London orphanage, lack the discipline of Victorian days. One of the most difficult problems of all is that of single child families. “The only child is often looked on as delicate and brilliant by his father and mother,” the Home Secretary said. “I myself am one of a family of four.”
