Excerpt from The Rationale of Discipline: As Exemplified in the High School of Edinburgh
Much has been written on the right training of youth, from the days of Plato and Quintilian down to the present time. The age at which a boys education should begin - what he should learn, and in what order - what should be taught to all, and what reserved for particular classes and professions - what portion of the religious element should enter into the course of instruction - whether a public or private education should be preferred, - are questions which have long divided both the speculations of philosophers and the practice of parents. But the actual details of school management and discipline have rarely been communicated to the world. No sooner is a boy committed to the charge of a domestic tutor or of a public teacher, than the scene closes, and little is heard of what passes, till he come forth in due time more or less of a scholar or a dunce.
