It would probably have been wiser to adopt
the school tone with its stricter discipline,
but Ellen Key could understand as little then
as now the necessity for school grinding,
warmly interested as she herself always
was, and consequently some thoughtless and
childish pupils wantonly rejected the precious
pearls offered. Moreover, she liked to see the
healthy playfulness of the young assert itself,
for she was, and is, a child among children.
And it is doubtful that the pearls could have
become their own valued treasirres had they
been forced upon them instead of being re-
ceived by grateful hearts. During recess, she
was generally surrounded by the younger
pupils who crowded upon her screaming:
"Tante Ellen, Tante Ellen!" until she was
quite helpless and had to defend herself with
both hands. The "Tante" title was thrust
upon her by the school custom. Outside of
the school she has always been simply Ellen
Key to all children.
