LIBERAL EDUCATION.
That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength, and in smooth working order; ready, like a steam-engine, to be turned to any kind qf work, and. spin the gossamers as "tfell as' forge* the 'anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who — no stunted ascetic — is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience; who has learncd to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. — -Professor Huxley.
