I am not a pessimist or * calamity howler. I know th ai even today there are more saner and lovely girls and women than any other kind.

Let parents love their children with every atom of their beings, which means with thsir heads, as well as with their hearts. Let them use tenderncM and gentle- and moral suasion by ths ton. but when It comes to a showdown, lot no one hesitate between n temporary red mark on a rebellious little body and a permanent black mark on an immortal soul.
