To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No methods or devices can ever replace these two requisites.
The reiex force of parenthood is great: no one can estimate how much better the world is morally because of children. Into the soul of the normal man or woman the advent of a child is a call to the higher hfe. The very way in which Nature leads the new being into the world seems designed, when things are as they should be, to stir the deepest fountains of the moral nature. Nor is this beneficent influence of the child confined to the ...par- ents : the very sight of children has power to soften and purify the countenances of men and visibly stir their better natures. The teacher, moreover, as a sort of secondary parent, is a great debtor to this reflex influence of education.
Let parents then — and most parents do it — cherish and cultivate this divine impulse toward self-improve- ment : let them for their children's sake diligentiy prune away the minor vices of irritability, impatience, careless or profane speech, and wage a war without quarter upon the greater enemies of character, — vanity and insincer- ity, indolence and self-indulgence, avarice and overween- ing ambition ; and in general soimd in their own souls at every thought of their children the great prayer-call of the ancient Church, "Lift up your hearts." What would you not give, O father, to have your son and NOTES ON THE CULTIVATION OF CHARACTER 187 daughter say of you in years far hence, "My father was the best man I ever knew !" They will say it, and think it too, if you will give them any reasonable ground.
