And they have but a little way to travel on the long road their children and their children's children must go to meet their fate.
To the lasting credit of human nature be it said that the grandparents of to-day measure as well for the most part as do the parents in these difficult tasks of family adjustment to a rapidly changing social order.

It is often the grandparent who sees what the different life of his or her children have meant to the still greater difference in the condition of the grandchild, and can interpret to the latter the reason for the restraint of the parent.

It is often through the tenderness and devotion to the aged called out by the grandparents that the son and daughter learn the real depths of parental love.

It is often the partial affection of the grandparent for the grandchild that makes a new tie in family love and enables that family love to grow wiser as well as stronger.

It may be, as quoted before, that no house is large enough for two families.
