That is what our School Management professor at Queen 's told us , you know . Do you suppose you could find any good in a child by whipping him ? It 's far more important to influence the children aright than it is even to teach them the three R 's , Professor Rennie says . '' `` But the Inspector examines them in the three R 's , mind you , and he wo n't give you a good report if they do n't come up to his standard , '' protested Jane . `` I 'd rather have my pupils love me and look back to me in after years as a real helper than be on the roll of honor , '' asserted Anne decidedly . `` Would n't you punish children at all , when they misbehaved ? '' asked Gilbert . `` Oh , yes , I suppose I shall have to , although I know I 'll hate to do it . But you can keep them in at recess or stand them on the floor or give them lines to write . '' `` I suppose you wo n't punish the girls by making them sit with the boys ? '' said Jane slyly . Gilbert and Anne looked at each other and smiled rather foolishly . Once upon a time , Anne had been made to sit with Gilbert for punishment and sad and bitter had been the consequences thereof . `` Well , time will tell which is the best way , '' said Jane philosophically as they parted . Anne went back to Green Gables by way of Birch Path , shadowy , rustling , fern-scented , through Violet Vale and past Willowmere , where dark and light kissed each other under the firs , and down through Lover 's Lane ... spots she and Diana had so named long ago . She walked slowly , enjoying the sweetness of wood and field and the starry summer twilight , and thinking soberly about the new duties she was to take up on the morrow . When she reached the yard at Green Gables Mrs. Lynde 's loud , decided tones floated out through the open kitchen window . `` Mrs. Lynde has come up to give me good advice about tomorrow , '' thought Anne with a grimace , `` but I do n't believe I 'll go in . Her advice is much like pepper , I think ... excellent in small quantities but rather scorching in her doses . I 'll run over and have a chat with Mr. Harrison instead . ''
This was not the first time XXXXX had run over and chatted with Mr. Harrison since the notable affair of the Jersey cow .
