The teacher who is eager to prevent quarreling and to eradicate it from
a child’s conduct, will first of all keep close watch over her pupils.
She will always be in the room before the time set for the pupils to
arrive. Each pupil as he comes will take his seat and as a result there
can be no quarreling, for the opportunity is removed. At recess time,
all play and recreational activities are supervised by the teacher or
physical director. Again the opportunity for quarreling is removed. This
same supervision is carried on during every play period. The teacher or
supervisor of play who is most discreet will make much headway in
keeping out of quarreling. However, should a quarrel arise in spite of
the teacher’s efforts, the teacher or supervisor should at once go to
the pupils and in a kindly manner command them to stop. She can add a
few words of kindly advice and then keep one of the offenders with her
during the rest of the play period.
