There is a given order in which, and a given rate at which, the faculties unfold. If the course of education conforms itself to that order and rate, well.

The greatest happiness and the greatest usefulness can never be attained, without that soundness of physical organization which confers the power of endurance, and that uninterrupted enjoyment...
Σελίδα 9 - On this, as on all other topies, limited acquisitions must precede higher attainments, as certainly as the twilight must come before the morning. It is no argument against attempting to diffuse knowledge, that it cannot be made perfect and universal at once. Three-quarters of a century ago, the fact of the identity of electricity and lightning was known to scarcely a dozen men in the world. Now, it is not only a matter of universal knowledge among the educated, but even children are familiar with...
