As part of the punishment, I also apologized to sisters and servants, for subjecting them to fear and danger. Bringing to bear sympathy and appreciation in dealing with a son is apparent enough, but what may escape the reader's notice is the giving of ample time. How many a parent has "meant well, tried a little, and failed much," as the pathetic epitaph near Lakewood reads, because he has been too "busy," forsooth, to give enough time and thought to the most important business of his life. The... faults and waywardness of a child are so annoying, they come at such inconvenient times, they are such interruptions, they seem to "pester" one so, that the in- stinct is to brush them away like a swarm of Qies, with some hasty words uttered, perhaps, in the presence of others, leading to injured pride, self-defense, heated argument, and estrange- ment. What is needed is the assignment of time, at an appro- priate place and alone with the child, without hurry or interrup- tion, and as much thought as is required, let us say, to suppress ravages of gypsy moths or to destroy the breeding places of mosquitoes.
