    No doubt we do give intellectual food, but too little of it: let us have

    amount of intellectual strong meat almost any child will take at a meal
    and digest at his leisure.

    But education should be a science of proportion, and any one
    subject that assumes undue importance does so at the expense
    of other subjects which a child’s mind should deal with.
