Nevertheless, there are certain Underlying' prineiples which form a mai- versal basis under its many forms. Happiness is a personal possession. ao a, very large extent it is independent cf circumstances; indeed; the most fay.; ,ored lives are devoid of it,eutiless the quality .of being able to, be happy ex- , ists, and -the most meagatl existence. can j he full of a real enjoyMent of life. If I had to write a prescription which I be- lieved would, as far as the change and chance of life would allow, ensure hap- piness, I shouldplace first and foremost the quality of selacoutrol. The- aspira- tion of every truly great people has al- ways been to ensure this quality. SELF.r.ONTatOL THE FIRST ESSEN- , TIAL. In the Golden Age of every nation it has been sought after as the key to na- tional success, and justtin proportion, as each nation has lost hold on thie qua- lity has it sunk in the scale of greatness and of power. , It is in the animal world, the differ• ence between the trained and the un- trained, this immediate answering to guidance and to duty. It is a habit that is acquired, and that grows, as does ahnost every oth.er quality, easier in the using. .The animal depends tippo the continual guidance of man, whereas the quality once acquired is practised by roan without any, goading from without, and becomes in itself a pleaeure. To be unableto curb any part of our- selves must always involve humiliation and. disappointment. If happiness con- sists in what :we are, then it beeomes,ap- parent that we must command all our Powers. t • The splendid achievements et the aa. pane'se are unquestionably largely due to the telization ofthis truthttt I have heard on every band that tine nation is one of the happiest in the world, and yet the whole Secret of thireducation lies in the- 'cultivation of selftcontrol. It has developed on, the one-handt a discipline of fortitude, which- bus scarcely a partilt .1e1 in the .world's history,: and a singu- lar unselfish consideration of others which pre-erninently distinguishes that great race. . REASON -OF' JAPAN'S SUCCESS: e . , , Boys, and girls are brought up to sped nc tears, to utter no groans, for alio simple, reasonthat in so doing they -would' be wounding the sensibility e cf others. ; A witty Japanese said ton English- man, "Your husbands, kiss 3our wives in public- and beerthem-en, private. Ja- panese -husbands etbeat them in public and kiss them in private." ' Calmness and composure are the 'out. come of this seif-control, and the equi- librium is: not overthrown in motivate ot unexpected vexation or disapointe merit. • " • To those who have not accniired this habit, how many bad moments succeed a' sudden gust of passion or a spell of anger? I .remember two Italian maids in Southern Italy -having ane day a vio- lent, 'quarrel. They 'fleetly ettme to blows, as they screamed and gesticulate ett, livid with .rage. 1, endeavored to make peace without success. ' An 'hour later l' met them leaving the house. .'
