To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
_ There isa great difference between _conversing with_ children and _talking to_them. By the former, you call their minds into exercise, and get hold oftheir feelings. Thus you will secure their attention. But the latterwill be much less likely to interest them; for, being the recipients ofthought, instead of thinking for themselves, they participate less inthe exercise. By engaging them in conversation, and leading thatconversation in the investigation of truth, you teach them to _think_. The ...mental discipline which this calls forth, is a matter of no smallconsequence. It may have an important bearing upon their whole futurecharacters. If we simply explain to a child the meaning of a passage of Scripture, the whole benefit lies in the instruction he receives at the time. But, if we show him practically how to ascertain the meaning himself, andbring him under the mental discipline which it requires, we give him akind of key to unlock the meaning of other passages. By an ingeniousmode of catechizing, children's minds may be led to perceive andunderstand almost any truth, much more distinctly and clearly than byany direct explanation which, a teacher can make.
