The faculties have all their legitimate spheres of usefulness, and the benefits to be derived from each depend on their harmonious development. They are, in fact, different instruments, all Of which are indispensable for attaining man's possible perfection; and, as such, they require to be duly improved, and properly applied, to se cure the ends for which he was placed on this earth. Although connected by secret ties, the faculties are yet so independent of each other, that each demands special and distinct exercises for its due cultivation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive book investigates the role of classical scholarship throughout history, the trends influencing it, and its necessary adaptations to the present age. The author argues that the utility of classical studies has shifted as education methods and available knowledge have advanced, and while the study of ancient languages was once critical for accessing knowledge, the proliferation of modern languages and the availability of translations have rendered them less essential. The author contends that the study of classical subjects should not be abandoned but rather adapted to meet the needs of students. The book explores various arguments for and against retaining classical education and provides a well-rounded examination of the topic useful to teachers, students, and anyone interested in the evolution and future of education and the role of classical studies within it.
