CHAPTER XIII.

THE MORAL EFFECT OF MANUAL TRAINING.

Mental Impulses are often Vicious; but the Exertion of Physical Power in the Arts is always Beneficent -- hence Manual Training tends to correct vicious mental Impulses. -- Every mental Impression produces a moral Effect. -- All Training is Moral as well as Mental. -- Selfishness is total Depravity; but Selfishness has been Deified under the name of Prudence. -- Napoleon an Example of Selfishness. -- The End of Selfishness is Disaster; but Prevailing Systems of Education promote Selfishness. -- The Modern City an Illustration of Selfishness. -- The Ancient City. -- Existing Systems of Education Negatively Wrong. -- Manual Training supplies the lacking Element. -- The Objective must take the Place of the Subjective in Education. -- Words without Acts are as dead as Faith without Works. 130
