Σελίδα 192 - If severity carried to the highest pitch does prevail, and works a cure upon the present unruly distemper, it is often bringing in the room of it worse and more dangerous disease, by breaking the mind...
Σελίδα 161 - Nothing hurts young people more than to be watched continually about their feelings, to have their countenances scrutinized, and the degrees of their sensibility measured by the surveying eye of the unmerciful spectator.
Σελίδα 40 - ... appears not to be perceived that throughout youth the same truth holds. Yet it is certain that it must do so. 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. If not — if the higher faculties are early taxed by presenting an order of knowledge more complex and abstract than can be readily assimilated ; or, if, by...
Σελίδα 192 - ... the cup be never so clean and well-shap'd, and of the richest materials. §50 3. Such a sort of slavish discipline makes a slavish temper. The child submits, and dissembles obedience, whilst the fear of the rod hangs over him; but when that is...
Σελίδα 52 - ... and formless are all the ideas they present to you. But the eye is the great thoroughfare between the outward and material infinite, and the inward and spiritual infinite.

Σελίδα 9 - ... places, I have a due appreciation. Nor would I have any of the common or elementary branches displaced for the introduction of this. But, when considered as a competitor for adoption among the more advanced studies now pursued, I believe that its intrinsic merits entitle it to an unquestionable priority. 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...
Σελίδα 12 - We are reluctant to counsel strong measures, but really the evils are so great as to justify, or even to demand, a peremptory interference on the part of fathers. Our conclusions are, then — that, while the clothing of children should never be in such excess as to create oppressive warmth, it should always be sufficient to prevent any general feeling of cold...
