Patience, Tact, and Wisdom Needed—To deal successfully with these different minds the teacher needs to exercise great tact and delicacy in management, as well as firmness in government. Dislike and even contempt for proper regulations will often be manifested. Some will exercise their ingenuity in evading penalties, while others will display a reckless indifference to the consequences of transgression. All this will call for patience and forbearance and wisdom on the part of those entrusted with the education of these youth.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 264 (1913). {1MCP 81.2}

Der er brug for tålmodighed, taktfølelse og visdom. - For at behandles disse forskellige mennesker på succesrig måde, har læren brug for at udvise stor taktfølelse og nøjeregnende ledelse, såvel som fasthed i styringen. Der vil ofte udvises modvilje og endog foragt mod gode regler. Nogle vil vise opfindsomhed for at undgå straf, medens andre viser ligegyldighed for konsekvenserne for deres overtrædelse. Alt dette vil kræve tålmodighed, overbærenhed og visdom fra deres side som har fået disse unges opdragelse betroet. - CT 264 (1913).
