Treatise on Parents and Children

by Bernard Shaw

Notes on this etext:
This text was taken from a printed volume containing the
plays "Misalliance", "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets",
"Fanny's First Play", and the essay "A Treatise on Parents
and Children".
Notes on the editing: Italicized text is delimited with
underlines ("_"). Punctuation and spelling retained as in
the printed text. Shaw intentionally spelled many words
according to a non-standard system. For example, "don't" is
given as "dont" (without apostrophe), "Dr." is given as "Dr"
(without a period at the end), and "Shakespeare" is given as
"Shakespear" (no "e" at the end). The pound (currency)
symbol has been replaced by the word "pounds".
