Except, perhaps as a temporary recreation or diversion, no school room exercise is worth anything unless it involves work. Many teachers in the misapplied willingness of a kindly disposition the child into mental atrophy. In every lesson by suggestive word and question and all too ready explanation and illustration, Sir teach er deprives the child of all mental initiative, and accustoms him to having all his thoughts ready-made, and to being carried over all difficulties on a feather pillow.
