Locke is a great enemy of those specious and spurious studies which were so much affected by' the Jesuits. He is a declared enemy to Latin verses. "Do not," he says, ' k let your child make verses of any sort ; for, if he has no genius for poetry, it is the most unreasonable thing in the world to torment a child, and waste his time, about that which can never succeed, and, if he has a poetical vein, it is to me the strangest thing in the world that a father should desire or suffer it to be impr...oved. Poetry and gaming, which usually go together, are alike in this too, — that they seldom bring any advantage but to those who have nothing else to live upon." He does not care any more for music, " which wastes so much of a young man's time to gain but a moderate skill in it, and engages often in such odd company that many think it better spared." Locke here would differ much from Milton, who gave music a more dignified place in his programme. In conclusion, Locke tells us that what he has written is designed for the breeding of a young gentleman, but that he is fully aware that every one cannot be educated in the same manner ; that each man's mind has some peculiarity, as well as his face, which distinguishes him from all others ; and that there are possibly scarcely two children who can be brought up by exactly the same method.
