What Is and What Might Be

CHAPTER IV
9/59

There is no need for any.

The function of the strict disciplinarian is to shut down, and, if necessary, sit upon, the safety-valve of misconduct.

But in Utopia, where all the energies of the children are fully and happily employed, that safety-valve has never to be used.

Each child in turn is so happy in his school life that the idea of being naughty never enters his head.

One cannot remain long in the school without realising that in its atmosphere Love is an unerring light, And joy its own security.
It recently happened that on a certain day one of the assistant-teachers had to go to a hospital, that another had to take her there, that the third was ill in bed, and that Egeria--the only available member of the staff--was detained by one of the managers for half-an-hour on her way to school.
