That is the rock upon which they all split. That is why it was suggested earlier in these pages that educational experts are all born grown-up.
Let us clear our minds upon this point once and for all. In nine cases out of ten a school- master's task is not to bring light to the path of an eager, groping disciple, but to drag a reluc- tant and refractory young animal up the slopes of Parnassus by the scruff of his neck. The schoolboy's point of view is perfectly reason- able and intelligible. "I... am lazy and scatter- brained, " he says in effect. "I have not as yet developed the power of concentration, and I have no love of knowledge for its own sake. Still, I have no rooted objection to education.
THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE 107 as such, and I suppose I must learn something in order to earn a Hving. But I am much too busy, as a growing animal, to have any energy left for intellectual enterprise. It is the business of my teacher to teach me. To put the matter coarsely, he is paid for it. I shall not offer him effusive assistance in his labours, but if he suc- ceeds in keeping me up to the collar against my will, I shall respect him for it.
