COLONIALS AND DISCIPLINE
An interesting distinction between Australians, New Zcalarulers, and Englishmen in their attitude to discipline was drawn by Mr. J. W. Shaw, when speaking at a reunion of old boys of the Otago Boys' High School in Auckland. Discussing the development of a New Zealand type, in the moulding of which ho believed the secondary schools played an important part, Mr. Shaw said he had been interested during tho war in contrasting the characteristics of soldiers. "The Australians objected to discipline .on. principle," he said. "The. New Zaalanders- objected to discipline but if they could be shown an objective that could be obtained through discipline, they accepted it. The Englishmen, it appeared to me, were more inclined to accept discipline for its own sake."
