CHAPTER 30

How Boys Are to Be Corrected

Mar. 7—July 7—Nov. 6

Every age and degree of understanding should have its proper measure of

discipline. With regard to boys and adolescents, therefore, or those who

cannot understand the seriousness of the penalty of excommunication,

whenever such as these are delinquent let them be subjected to severe

fasts or brought to terms by harsh beatings, that they may be cured.
