A correction coming from such a tine will move the Inmost roul nnd S"t a new motive In piece of Ihe one rebuked. I'nles you are In their hearts correction only rouses antaironlsin, thus In reality defeating your very purpose. Love Is proportionate. No one In authority can point to a single net, having true re formatory merit, but an act of kindness. Any parent or teacher who has succeeded has done so In proportion as he or she wa able lo touch the hearts of the children. Person of such temperaments that they cannot lovn all their children ail the time will nn et rnbuffs In propor tion na they shut out affections. How unfortunate ihut persons In authority ever form a maind for certain subjects to be governed. Those character cannot but grow twisted anil warped, being con stantly hampered and repelled. Freedom to chooso Is tho proper ut mosphern to prevnll nt home and nt school. The governor should sink out of the rhlld's consciousness when debute of rlKht and wrong are going on In his or her mind. This Is not possible with young children, sllll these should he a proper degree of freedom. It Is possible wllh older pupils, If proper methods have be-r-n employed.

Judgment nnd reasoning do not have lull eat sway. Thus, mlstukes of those In authority, will be copied bcdlly and be come a part of the .trowing character.
