ABSTRACT

The Newbolds live at a brisk pace, with an energy that seems to demand activity. The members of this family have a high sense of themselves as persons and a purposefulness about which they are readily articulate. Determined to make their own lives, they assume responsibilities and carry them out in their own way. With established self-command, they enter into affairs, assured that they can mold their circumstances. They communicate a sense of driving forward against challenge as though to multiply strength and independence. Even at home they seem intent on doing and constructing, and their life together has something of the character of a consciously created product. Nothing significant is left to chance—neither the day-to-day activities nor the long-range career plans of the family’s junior members.
