Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: II.

As one writer says, The child that is brought up by himself is extremely unfortunate in his tendencies. And who has not noticed this ? Who has not seen the children gathered by themselves on vacant lots or street corners amusing themselves with profanity and vulgarity of every sort and indulging inevery imaginable evil practice ?

It kills many a seed of gentility and uprightness sown by the mothers and the teachers.
