Here is a danger point, "Day dreaming, idle flights of imagination,
building air castles are of little value, and dangerous in that they
tend to develop the habit." If indulged in to excess they constitute
a foolish waste of time. Occasional flights of this kind should not
be dealt with harshly, but any tendency to persist in them should be
stopped.
Reading of books which are wild flights of imagination often constitute
a harmless form of recreation for persons who are confined for long
hours at routine work, or engaged in hard physical labor. Children do
not need this extreme class of reading and should not be allowed to
indulge in much of it.
