The more he impresses his boys as being himself a person of distinguished intelligence and character, and the more he shows himself to be consistently a respecter of individuality in others, the more likely is he to be able to develop in the collective mind of his little community, not only a toleration, but a warm appreciation of all indications of worthy individuality in its members, including the expression of independent views and preferences."
