Train the will, never break it: H. Clay Trumbull's famous distinction anchors these hints, drawn from long experience of his own household. Chapters cover discerning a child's special need, the place of must in training, and the scope and limits of the whole endeavor. A grandfather's wisdom, plainly argued in 1890 and quoted ever since. Guidance that trusts the child.
