ABSTRACT
The forming of the temper ought to be the continual thought, and the first task of a parent or teacher. For to speak moderately, half the miseries of life arise from peevishness, or a tyrannical domineering temper. The tender, who are so by nature, or those whom religion has moulded with so heavenly a disposition, give way for the sake of peace - yet still this giving way undermines their domestic comfort, and stops the current of affection; they labor for patience, and labor is ever painful. /
