Our aim in education is to give a full life. We owe it to them to initiate an immense number of interests. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking—the strain would be too great—but all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest.
