Constance’s case calls for the application of the principles of
suggestion and of initiative in coöperation. See to it that no young
person who has been under your influence for a period of months or years
goes to a new and different world without trying to indicate to that
person how he or she may get the best rather than the worst out of the
novel experience. A little conversation as to the purpose of the trip, a
few suggestions as to the interesting places that may be visited, a
little reading together of the historical or other literature connected
with the new field, a helpful word as to how the trip may be made
beneficial to the friends who are not fortunate enought to enjoy such
pleasures, may give direction to ambitions which otherwise will expend
themselves upon unworthy ends.
