to　bring　the　will　of　the　children　into　accordance　with　his　own

will。　And　this　he　can　only　do　by　an　abnegation　of　his　personal

self；　and　an　application　of　a　system　of　laws；　for　the　purpose　of

achieving　a　certain　calculable　result；　the　imparting　of　certain

knowledge。　Whereas　Ursula　thought　she　was　going　to　bee　the

first　wise　teacher　by　making　the　whole　business　personal；　and

using　no　pulsion。　She　believed　entirely　in　her　own
