Stealing, if not skillfully handled, leads to lying. To punish a child
for either offense, without an attempt to teach him to despise such an
act, really adds to his other crimes, fear, deceit and hatred for the
one who punishes. Children should be taught to respect property rights
at school, since such education is so often neglected at home. To this
end, always be careful to respect the property rights of the children
when dealing with them.
