A father is the natural guardian of his children ,
and his duty by the natural law consists in maintaining them and educating them during their infancy ,
and making a necessary provision for their happiness in life .
This latter ,
however ,
is a duty which the law does not enforce .

By law ,
the father is bound to support his children ,
if of sufficient ability ,
even though they have property of their own .

The rights of the father are authority over his children ,
to enforce all his lawful commands ,
and to correct with moderation his children for disobedience .
A father may delegate his power over the person of his child to a tutor or instructor ,
the better to accomplish the purposes of his education .
This power ceases on the arrival of the child at the age of twenty -
one years .
Generally ,
the father is entitled to the services of his children during their minority .
