[Sidenote: Avoid Spreading Harm]
When Sadie Moore picked up a note from the floor and handed it to Miss
Dietz, who taught the third grade, the teacher allowed no one to see her
when she read the note. She said privately to Sadie: “I desire that you
say nothing to any one about that note. That is the best way to help me
in this matter.” She studied the handwriting and note paper and fixed
the blame to a certainty upon Conrad James. She resolved at once to keep
sharp eyes on that boy, unknown to him, and to see that he had no chance
to have unrestricted conservation with other pupils for a while. She
supervised all play periods and thereby assured herself that no harm
should come to any one of her pupils through association with him.
