Nor is knowledge gained by forced measures or in iuiste. Some things admit of being forced on us, but knowledge is none of these. The mind must by its own energy develop from within outward, going forth in search of that which it would understand. The student must seek and pursue the subject, and not be j)ursued by the subject. There must be growth from within. Knowledge cannot be imposed as so many layers from without. If it could be so imposed it would be the easiest thing in the world to bec...ome learned, and the difference of aptitude to learn, observable in different minds, would not exist. But, . on the contrary, there must be ment^il labor and activity in order to mental improvement. Hence, the teacher always seeks to have Ills pupil exercise his mind, and where this cannot l>e af- fected there can ]je no progress in kno-wledge, It is by exercise that the mind gains strength and aquires knowledge. Thip. is, however^ not the result oa ^ dnv'w M labor, but of close and constant application for years ; or, as Ca3Har in fewer words would have expressed it, Festina lente, that is, study thoroughly as you proceed, and though your progress may seem to be slow, you will in the end find it to be the fastest and best way to get knowledge.
