Likewise, the present rule is not favourable to the growth of self-reliance among the dependent members of the family. In a rich family, it offers a premium to extravagance, idleness and perpetual discord. Its injustice is manifestly galling. Take, e.g., a case in which a father has three sons and incurs the same expenditure on their education. He sends them all to England to be educated for the 1.C.S. One is successful, the other two fail. Of the two who fail, one takes to trade, the other is unwilling to do any work and remains idle. The trader earns a large fortune, which the present law allows him to keep to himself, because his education in England was for the Civil Service and not for trade. But, out of the earnings of the Civilian, two shares are claimed, one by the trader and the other by the brother who has been idle. 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.....
