In households and in schools the education of children should not
be like the training of dumb animals; for children have an intelligent
will, which should be directed to control all their powers. The dumb
animals need to be trained; for they have not reason and intellect.
The human mind must be taught self-control. It must be educated to
rule the human being, while the animal is controlled by the master.
The beast is trained to be submissive to his master. The master is
mind, judgment, and will for his beast. A child may be so trained
as to have, like the beast, no will of his own. His individuality may
even be submerged in the one who superintends his training, and the
will is, to all intents and purposes, subject to the will of the teacher.
