Arnold to adopt such methods of instruction, as would tend to make the minds of his pupils active, and lead them to put forth their powers to meet the knowledge, they were to grasp. He did not wish his pupils to be mere learned pack- 3 26 MR.

But he aimed to cultivate in them the habit of incorporating, whatever knowledge they acquired, with their own asso...ciations ; of digest- ing it by reflection, and classifying it for future use. He did not wish his pupils to be mere passive reci- pients of knowledge. Hence, he was not much ac- customed to give them, on any subject, formal and extended lectures. He did not desire their minds to be like cisterns, holding only dead waters, but aimed to make them like living fountains, sending out clear and refreshing streams. " The difference, " said he, " between a useful education and one which does not affect the future life, rests mainly on the greater or less activity, which it has communicated to the pupil's mind ; whether he has learned to think and act and gain knowledge for himself; or whether he has merely followed passively, as long as there was some one to draw him.
