BISHOP ON SELF-CONTROL.
The Bishop of Norwich, speaking at the annual prize-day of Hill House School, Downham Market, said nothing was piore distressing than to observe the number of young ladies who when out of the systernised instruction of school seemed to lose all self-control and allow themselves to drift into the way of wasting all their time in amusement.
He always had a poor opinion of a girl who couM shine at school but was not able to shine at home.
Japanese school children were trained in self-control to such an extent that when an earthquake occurred 1 (as was frequent in Japan) it was considered bad form for a pupil to raise her eyes from her book. She might be unable to help turning pale, but she would on no account show any other sign of emotion.
