Excerpt from Child Versus Parent: Some Chapters on the Irrepressible Conflict in the Home Nothing can be more important than to seek to bring to the home some Of the responsibilities with which other agencies such as school and church are today unfitly burdened. False is the charge that school and church fail to co-operate with the home. Truer is the suggestion that church and school have vainly undertaken to do that which the home must largely do. The teacher in church and school may supplement the effort of the parent but cannot and may not be asked to perform the work of parents. The school is overburdened to distraction, the church tinkers at tasks which in the nature of things must fall to parents or be left undone. And the school is attempting to become an agency for the uni versal relief of the home, which cannot be freed of its particular responsibilities even by the best intentioned school or church.
