BOOK III
The whole course of man's life up to adolescence
is a period of weakness； yet there comes a time
during these early years when the child's strength overtakes the demands upon it， when the growing creature， though absolutely weak， is relatively strong． His needs are not fully developed and his present
strength is more than enough for them． He would be a very feeble man， but he is a strong child．
What is the cause of man's weakness? It
is to be found in the disproportion between his strength and his desires． It is our passions that make us weak， for our natural strength is not enough for their
satisfaction． To limit our desires comes
to the same thing， therefore， as to increase our strength． When we can do more than we want， we have strength enough and to spare， we are really strong． This is the third stage of childhood， the stage with which I am about to deal． I still speak of childhood for want of a better word； for our scholar is approaching adolescence， though he has not yet reached the age of puberty．
About twelve or thirteen the child's strength
increases far more rapidly than his needs． The strongest and fiercest of the passions is still
unknown， his physical development
is still imperfect and seems to await the call of the will． He is scarcely aware of extremes of heat and cold
and braves them with impunity． He needs no coat， his blood is warm； no spices， hunger is his sauce， no food comes amiss at this age； if he is sleepy he stretches himself on the ground
and goes to sleep； he finds all he needs
within his reach； he is not tormented by
any imaginary wants； he cares nothing what
others think； his desires are not beyond
his grasp； not only is he self－sufficing， but for the first and
last time in his life he has more strength than he needs．
I know beforehand what you will say． You will not assert that the child has more needs
than I attribute to him， but you will deny his
strength． You forget that I am speaking
of my own pupil， not of those puppets who
walk with difficulty from one room to another， who toil indoors and carry bundles of paper． Manly strength， you say， appears only with manhood； the vital spirits， distilled in their proper vessels and spreading through
the whole body， can alone make the muscles
firm， sensitive， tense， and springy， can alone cause real strength． This is the philosophy of the study； I appeal to that of experience． In the country districts， I see big lads hoeing， digging， guiding the plough， filling the wine－cask， driving the cart， like their fathers； you would take them for grown men if their voices
did not betray them． Even in our towns， iron－workers'， tool makers'， and blacksmiths' lads are almost as strong as their
masters and would be scarcely less skilful had their training begun earlier． If there is a difference， and I do not deny that there is， it is， I repeat， much less than the difference between the stormy
passions of the man and the few wants of the child． Moreover， it is not merely a question of bodily strength， but more especially of strength of mind， which reinforces and directs the bodily strength．
This interval in which the strength of the
individual is in excess of his wants is， as I have said， relatively though not absolutely the time of greatest
strength． It is the most precious
time in his life； it comes but once； it is very short， all too short， as you will see when you consider the importance
of using it aright．
He has， therefore， a surplus of strength and capacity which he will
never have again． What use shall he make
of it? He will strive to use it in tasks which will help at need． He will， so to speak， cast his present surplus into the storehouse of the
future； the vigorous child will
make provision for the feeble man； but he will not store his goods where thieves may
break in， nor in barns which are
not his own． To store them aright， they must be in the hands and the head， they must be stored within himself． This is the time for work， instruction， and inquiry． And note that this is no arbitrary choice of mine， it is the way of nature herself．
Human intelligence is finite， and not only can no man know everything， he cannot even acquire all the scanty knowledge of
others． Since the contrary of
every false proposition is a truth， there are as many truths as falsehoods． We must， therefore， choose what to teach as well as when to teach it． Some of the information within our reach is false， some is useless， some merely serves to puff up its possessor． The small store which really contributes to our welfare
alone deserves the study of a wise man， and therefore of a child whom one would have wise． He must know not merely what is， but what is useful．
From this small stock we must also deduct
those truths which require a full grown mind for their understanding， those which suppose a knowledge of man's relations
to his fellow－men－－a knowledge which no child can acquire； these things， although in themselves true， lead an inexperienced mind into mistakes with regard
to other matters．
We are now confined to a circle， small indeed compared with the whole of human thought， but this circle is still a vast sphere when measured
by the child's mind． Dark places of the human
understanding， what rash hand shall dare
to raise your veil? What pitfalls does our so－called science prepare for the miserable child． Would you guide him along this dangerous path and
draw the veil from the face of nature? Stay your hand． First make sure that neither he nor you will become
dizzy． Beware of the specious
charms of error and the intoxicating fumes of pride． Keep this truth ever before you－－Ignorance never did any one any harm， error alone is fatal， and we do not lose our way through ignorance but
through self－confidence．
His progress in geometry may serve as a
test and a true measure of the growth of his intelligence， but as soon as he can distinguish between what is
useful and what is useless， much skill and discretion
are required to lead him towards theoretical studies． For example， would you have him find a mean proportional between
two lines， contrive that he should
require to find a square equal to a given rectangle； if two mean proportionals are required， you must first contrive to interest him in the doubling
of the cube． See how we are gradually
approaching the moral ideas which distinguish between good and evil． Hitherto we have known no law but necessity， now we are considering what is useful； we shall soon come to what is fitting and right．
Man's diverse powers are stirred by the
same instinct． The bodily activity， which seeks an outlet for its energies， is succeeded by the mental activity which seeks for
knowledge． Children are first restless， then curious； and this curiosity， rightly directed， is the means of development for the age with which
we are dealing． Always distinguish between
natural and acquired tendencies． There is a zeal for learning which has no other foundation
than a wish to appear learned， and there is another which springs from man's natural
curiosity about all things far or near which may affect himself． The innate desire for comfort and the impossibility
of its complete satisfaction impel him to the endless search for fresh means of
contributing to its satisfaction． This is the first principle of curiosity； a principle natural to the human heart， though its growth is proportional to the development
of our feeling and knowledge． If a man of science were left on a desert island
with his books and instruments and knowing that he must spend the rest of his life
there， he would scarcely trouble
himself about the solar system， the laws of attraction， or the differential calculus． He might never even open a book again； but he would never rest till he had explored the
furthest corner of his island， however large it might be． Let us therefore omit from our early studies such
knowledge as has no natural attraction for us， and confine ourselves to such things as instinct
impels us to study．
