![The individuality thus isolated in a child is not always good! Certain- ly not. There can be, I presume, as many grades among children as among adults. The range seems to extend over the whole gamut, from something very like angels to some- thing barely distinguishable from devils. The nearly angelic is fortu- nately the more common variety, and I shall assume,—what may be true,— that all children who are given a de- cent chance in life, both by ancestry and by nurture, will respond to judi- cious treatment and be a credit to their home and upbringing. I think it more helpful to empha- size the essential goodness of human nature than its essential badness. [8]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2808679x_0012.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
