mmmm.
"I think that Gaius and Titius may have have honestly misunderstood the pressing educational need of the moment. They see the world around them swayed by educational propaganda--they have learned from tradition that youth is sentimental--and they conclude that the best they can do is to fortify the minds of young people against emotion. My own experience as a teacher tells an opposite tale. For every one pupil who needs to be guarded from a weak excess of sensibility there are three who need to be awakened from the slumber of cold vulgarity. The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts."
