Let us get back to contro- versy. " I distinctly prefer that my son should not be an athlete," said a friend of mine, who is also a parent, to me the other day. " I don't want all that excitement and display. I want him to have quiet family tastes, to care for beetles and butterflies, to be sober-minded, reasonable, domestic. Your games are a mere excrescence on a properly disciplined life, are a factitious pleasure and an artificial employment of energy." " Thou fool ! " I said to him (I am no...t habitually unpolite, but I have been pursuing my IS7 Essays. theological studies a good deal lately), " is not all school artificial to the last degree ? ' So much the worst for it, is it ? ' ' That is just what you complain of? ' Why, is not all our life a purely artificial product from the Uves of past ancestors, and is not the business of each generation, if Darwinism be true, nothing else than to artifize its successors? Beetle me no beetles ! I am not going to give up what I see visibly to be the food of health and virtue, because you consider that a Swiss Family Robinson could do very nicely without it.
