We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Mary Chapman's devotion lo her little son Peter blinded her to her daughter Susie's resentment of him. Mary's refusal of her request for a kitten and Jim Chapman's criticism of her poor marks in school convinced Susie that her parents no longer loved her, that only Peter was important to them.
MARY CHAPMAN considered herself a very good mother. Her home was attractive, her children were well dressed and well fed and her daughter attended an excellent school. But she overlooked a vital responsibility, the emotional needs of her daughter. The pediatrician, Dr. Black, realized Susie's difficulty. "Children want emotional security," he told her, "they need to know that they are loved, but Peter gets too much attention, Susie too little. Send Peter to nursery school; he will benefit. And Susie needs the attention she'll get."
Unhappy at home, Susie decided to run away. She played in the park, unaware that her teacher had reported her absence from school to her parents, who in turn notified the police of her disappearance. Finally an officer spotted her and, though she tried to escape from him, took her home again.
Disturbed as she was by Susie's escapade, Mary had no time for punishment beyond ordering her to stay in her room, for it was the day to take Peter for his regular visit to the pediatrician. Watching them from a window, Susie hated Peter for usurping her place in her parents' hearts.
