"Do not give your children expensive notions"

[frencha]

It is said. "Do not give your boy expensive notions. Bring him up to be simple in his habits and pleasures."Teach children to look upon labour as a real dignity and idleness as a disgrace. Teach them to be open and frank. If they have carelessly broken anything, and takes the full blame upon themselves, and makes no excuses about it, don't punish them, but commend them for their honesty, and they will grow up every inch a man and a woman.
