Adaptation may serve either of two ends. It may fix the child in a life of
indifference, of inefficiency, of crime, or it may fit him into a world of noble acts
and lofty endeavor.

CONSTRUCTIVE TREATMENT
CONSTRUCTIVE TREATMENT
Miss Giles would do well to join in the laugh at her own expense.
She should supervise every moment of the children’s play period.
George will not then have an opportunity to use his imitative powers.
He will be swept into active games and be only one of a crowd.
An apology should not be demanded of a pupil for any mark of
disrespect toward the teacher. Respect can not be developed by force.
If, in spite of these precautions, you sometimes find yourself the
butt of the children’s sport, quietly drop into the play school, take a
seat as one of the play pupils and carry off your part as a naughty
child. “Take off” the troublesome child so well—(not any particular
one, however)—that the children will laugh with you and the whole
thing will pass off as play, nothing more.
