Likewise, the present rule is not favourable to the growth of self-reliance among the dependent members of the family.

The trader keeps his own earnings and also takes a share of the Civilian's earnings. Take again a case in which three brothers are given by their father the same education for the same profession and at the same cost. Though they.....
