It can be done to a certain but very lim ited extent, for to do more would de stroy the very idea of a home. Times for meals can be maintained if the man of the family does not make that im possible. Beyond this regularity there must be a large degree of ¿exibility Peace and rest are the characteristics of the home. But it should not be a peace which is only a sti¿ed war, and the Rest must come from the constant balance of the complicated conditions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
