(5) " Limitation of subjects practically to 

 classics." 



(6) " Absence of any scientific training ; too 

 much confined to classics/' 



(7) " Omission of mathematics, German, and 

 drawing." 



(8) "Latin and Greek were more insisted on 

 than modern languages." 



(9) " In an otherwise well-balanced education, 

 3 years, aet. 12-15, at a private school were 

 spent on Latin and Greek grammar a blank 

 waste of time." 



(10) " School work directed to the cultivation 

 of literary tastes only, and therefore not adapted 

 to a variety of intellects." 



(11) " Elements of natural science omitted; 

 nothing taught of the nature of the world 

 around us." 



(12) "Not taught mathematics, nor any na- 

 tural science, to which I could have taken 



con amore"
