Nerve Culture 137 



The child must be encouraged in developing his 

 natural qualities, and efforts should be made 

 to bring out the best in him. Perhaps the 

 mother can most satisfactorily control the emo- 

 tions and direct the will, and the father see that 

 self-reliance is cultivated. A normal, happy- 

 family life will best fit the child to make proper 

 adjustments to the varying environment of later 

 years. Finally, the child cannot too early be 

 taught to face reality and learn to appreciate the 

 fact that life is a process of adjustment.
