but I am sure that it ought not to be the main element; and when it
predominates so much as to preclude love and confidence on the part of
the child to those who should be the unreservedly trusted advisers of
after years, and perhaps to seal up the fountains of frank and

communicativeness
in the child's nature, it is an evil for
which a large abatement must be made from the benefits, moral and
