Excerpt from The Boy and His School: What It Can and What It Cannot Give Him It were much to be desired that educational discussion could be lifted to the level of a sound logic, with its terms clearly and rigorously defined, then the movements which arise out of discussion would not bear such a dangerous likeness to the blind rushes of a riotous mob, which ever responds most readily to the cry "Down with" something or other, no matter what. For example, what is to be the meaning of the term Education? Most commonly it is used as the equivalent of Schooling, but it is also very often used in the wider sense of formation of a (satisfactory) character. But it is usually assumed that, even in this wider sense, it is a process which can be stopped at will, and is in fact stopped for the most part, if not entirely, during vacations and other off-hours.
