Présentation de l'éditeur
Means of Education. Education comprises all the influences which go to form the character. In early infancy, before the child has acquired that power over thought and language which fits him for direct intercourse with those around him, he is educated by the experience which he acquires through the natural activity of his instincts. In childhood and youth his education proceeds under the superintendence of the family circle and the gchool. In mature years, he is again thrown upon the resources of self-education, but now with the power of controlling these for definite ends ;and he finds in the intercourse of society, in hia own reading and reflection, and in the ministrations of the Christian Church, the means by which his nature is to reach its destined measure of perfection. The education of childhood is often spoken of as if it were pre-eminently the education of the whole man. It is not so, however; the education which the man carries on of himself in maturity, when he has come to the possession of all his powers, is that which determines his character and position. The peculiar importance of the education of childhood lies in the consideration, that it prepares the way for the subsequent self-education of manhood. It brings the man into command of his faculties, and enables him to use his opportunities of progress ;it equips him with intellectual, moral, and practical principles, but for which he would pass through life without any purpose of self-improvement, and without the power of profiting by its experience. 2. Duty of the Family in Education.
