`` I shall govern by affection , Mr. Harrison . '' `` It wo n't do , '' said Mr. Harrison , `` wo n't do at all , Anne . ` Spare the rod and spoil the child . ' When I went to school the master whipped me regular every day because he said if I was n't in mischief just then I was plotting it . '' `` Methods have changed since your schooldays , Mr. Harrison . '' `` But human nature has n't . Mark my words , you 'll never manage the young fry unless you keep a rod in pickle for them . The thing is impossible . '' `` Well , I 'm going to try my way first , '' said Anne , who had a fairly strong will of her own and was apt to cling very tenaciously to her theories . `` You 're pretty stubborn , I reckon , '' was Mr. Harrison 's way of putting it . `` Well , well , we 'll see . Someday when you get riled up ... and people with hair like yours are desperate apt to get riled ... you 'll forget all your pretty little notions and give some of them a whaling . You 're too young to be teaching anyhow ... far too young and childish . '' Altogether , Anne went to bed that night in a rather pessimistic mood . She slept poorly and was so pale and tragic at breakfast next morning that Marilla was alarmed and insisted on making her take a cup of scorching ginger tea .

Had it been some magic brew , potent to confer age and experience , Anne would have swallowed a quart of it without flinching . `` Marilla , what if I fail ! '' `` You 'll hardly fail completely in one day and there 's plenty more days coming , '' said Marilla . `` The trouble with you , Anne , is that you 'll expect to teach those children everything and reform all their faults right off , and if you ca n't you 'll think you 've failed .
