Outstanding teachers, public leaders, generals, athletic
coaches, in short, all in positions of responsibility are by r
necessity strong disciples of discipline in-their own indivi-
‘ aaways. They are wen Lware that they must create those-
conditions in which their actions can bear fruit. In addition,
they visualize the multiplicity of problems to be encountered
in reaching the., objectives, understanding that growth finds -
adversity a frequent'companion. The teacher’s objective--
education for life-is impregnated with the demand for or-
der, the very foundation upon which discipline rests. Without
order, education is impossible.
Learning to adjust and make changes is essential in ad- ‘
vancing one’s self. Thus the individual who is mired in in-
decision, who denies the inevitable demand of hardship as a
prerequisite to mastery, is hopelessly caught in a utopian
world. Adjusting to differ ing cir cumstances and making chan-
2.5coepery to achieve a goal requires immense self-dis-.,

effective discipline is always self-imposed. The individual
who learns early that he must make decisions he would rather
avoid and complete tasks he would rather forget has grasped
this fundamental principle of personal growth.

they are asked to do, who respect authority and each of their
classmates, who are willing to endure the discomfort of extra
practice or more homework. These are usually the same stu-
dents who have received discipline at home as well as in sch-
ool. -----
Discipline which stands alone in the educational setting has i
only short-term benefits. But discipline imposed within the
- school will reap results when it is coupled with straightfor-
ward explanations to the students of the purposes discipline
serves. When discipline has to be imposed from without as
it does in school then communication between student and
teacher must be clear and unencumbered.
And what is the alternative to.discipline whether self-im-
posed or imposed from without? The answer is unmistakably
clear. The individual who has not received this vital instruc-
t ion not'only runs the risk of failing to utilize his potential,
but makes himself more vulnerable to those enticements
which have an especially strong attraction for the undiscipl-
ined--alcoholism, drug abuse, and other forms of escape
from reality. These individuals will certainly contribute to
the multiplicity of problems that beset our society which-is
based on the very attributes accruing from discipline, na-
mely: respect for authority, cooperative effort, awareness
of organization, respect for the dignity of the individual and
the need for doing things which are unpleasant.
