The curiosity of children is a natural propensity, which comes before instruction. Conceit is always to be dreaded as a result of premature education." Fe'nelon, Traite de V Edu- cation des Filles ["Fragments": pp. 9, 13, 11, transl. by B. C. R.]. 432 MOTIVES AND VALUES IN EDUCATION have argued above, the emasculation of history for school purposes has made that subject contemptible and pre- vents in this generation in America a development of that respect for history which has always marked gr...eat and enduring civilizations. Our people do not know, and because of their school experiences are unwilling to inquire, what history really is and teaches. We cannot impart to children or instill into them what is essentially beyond their powers. Consequently, to teach out of proper order and time any subject or topic because society seems to require it — in other words, to yield to utilitarianism — is to do worse than fail ; it is to give offense. Already too many persons have learned the art of finance before mastering tJie fundamental principles of morality ; and too many have acquired the art of pol- itics before inquiring into the science of government} Not the school for society, not the boy for civilization, not the man for his country ; but all education for the most in the present, — which, closely analyzed, is the immediate future, — because the whole cannot be greater than the sum of all its parts, and mankind is temporal but each man eternal.
