To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Finally he says it is an agreeable relaxation from labor, and ''a medicine for the uneasiness that arises therefrom "; and it may hence afford an honorable employment of leisure; yet *' the learning of it should never prevent the business of riper years, nor render the body ignoble and unfit for the business of war or the state." His final word is this, ''These then are to be laid down, as it were, the three boundaries of education, namely Moderation, Possibility, and Decency." Such then are th...e views of Aristotle on education, and such his catalogue of the means fitted to promote it, a meagre one even for the time in which he wrote. HIS CURRICULUM 185 Considering education solely in its political aspect, as a means of assuring good citizenship, it possibly should cause no surprise that the father of formal logic makes no mention of dialectics, or that the greatest inductive investigator of nature previous to the time of Bacon should omit all study of nature in the training of his citizens.
