Excerpt from The Inglenook, Vol. 9: A Weekly Magazine; January 1, 1907Every person who comes in contact with children is, in a somewhat general way, a teacher of children. Every parent, every grown brother and sister, every aunt, uncle, cousin, and last, but by far not least, good grandma and grandpa are ideals of the child. Every teacher who makes it a business or profession to do the work of the schoolroom is by virtue of her position a legalized person in whom the parent entrusts the teaching and training of the child.People are prone to neglect the wants of children. It is too often customary to put the desire of the child aside as a trivial or a childish admonition. True, it may seem childish to the person somewhat aged, and to the person who has forgotten that he was ever a child, but nevertheless these things, little to the older person, mean much to the child.You do not really heed this!' Look back over your own life to a time when a stern parent denied you something which you still feel should not have been denied you. Was it not so in your case? Will it not still be so in the child? Children may be, by virtue of their surroundings, rich or poor, good or bad, spoiled and petted, neglected or degraded, yet the same general desires, and the same general ideas and thoughts burn in the minds of these children, and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
