The portraits are drawn from the inmates of a boarding-school, as it is easier to study human nature as it presents itself unchecked in its tendencies in youth.

The principle maintained by the author is, that the great' responsibility of mak ing man or woman what they should be, rests not upon teachers, but upon parents, and upon them alone, and that God will hold them thus responsible.
