ABSTRACT
IT will be realized that command over our activities in ordinary everyday affairs, while an important gain, is, nevertheless, only a first step in the acquirement of the general art of self-control. Such matters as regularity and system, as a rule touch us but lightly, that is, call forth a comparatively mild degree of emotion. In the more personal relationships, however, where such strongly emotional sentiments as love of children and hate are stimulated, we seem at times fairly driven to act irrationally and in a manner contrary to our best interests.
