Most forms of gross immorality center in excessive self- regard. Some of the instincts need fostering and stimulating. The most marked examples of this class is the group of ii8 IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS other-regarding impulses, — sympathy, love, cooperation, and self-sacrifice. These have come in rather late in the course of evolution, and are threatened constan...tly by self- regard. They come relatively late in the life of the indi- vidual.
