Children who are thus educated will ever be deficient in moral
energy and individual responsibility. They have not been taught
to move from reason and principle. Their will was controlled by
another, and the mind was not called out, that it might expand and
strengthen by exercise. They were not directed and disciplined with
respect to their peculiar constitution and capabilities of mind, to
put forth their strongest powers when required. Teachers should
not stop here, but give special attention to the cultivation of the
weaker faculties, that all the powers may be brought into exercise,
and carried forward from one degree of strength to another, that the
mind may attain to due proportions.
