If we wish to have a strong, healthy, happy race of men, we should lay a good foundation in the education of early childhood. We should avoid all means of brutal, slavish training which cripple man's individuality, freedom, and happiness. We should not use violence and fear. We should be careful to remove from the children all that is brutal, ugly, vicious, and fearsome. We should surround our young with the graceful, the true, the beautiful, the good, the kind, the lovely, and the loving.

I think that's an excellent first position to take, but it stands against the fact that more than a few adults have adopted the traits of predators, playing pranks on one another, showing their fitness by naming and facing evil, and so on.
