The aim of study is to grow better and wiser. Who asks his pupils what he thinks of such and such a Ciceronian pas- sage? . . . Let a wise curiosity be awakened concern- 216 A VALIANT WOMAN ing the nature of all things. Let him notice what is singular around him, a building, a fountain, a man, an old battle-field, the passage of Caesar or Charlemagne. Let him inquire as to the morals, the means, the alliances of this or that person; these are very agreeable things to learn and very useful to kn...ow. Let the teacher not so much impress the pu- pil's mind with the date of the ruin of Carthage as with the morals of Hannibal and Scipio; not so much where Marcellus died, as why he was recreant to his duty that he died there.
" Let him know the difference between knowing and not knowing, which ought to be the real aim of study. Let him learn what courage and temperance are, what can be said in comparing ambition and avarice, servitude and submission, license and lib- erty; by what signs we know true and solid happi- ness ; how far death and pain and disgrace are to be feared; what motives impel us to action and are the spring of so many diverse emotions in us; for it seems to me that the first discourses which we owe him on the enlightenment of his understanding arc those which regulate his morals and his senses ; which teach him to know himself, and to know how to live and how to die.
