Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore

Charles Kingsley

And
it
is
these
qualities,
however
imperfectly
they
may
be
realized
in
any
individual
instance,
which
make
our
scientific
men,
as
a
class,
the
wholesomest
and
pleasantest
of
companions
abroad,
and
at
home
the
most
blameless,
simple,
and
cheerful,
in
all
domestic
relations;
men
for
the
most
part
of
manful
heads,
and
yet
of
childlike
hearts,
who
have
turned
to
quiet
study,
in
these
late
piping
times
of
peace,
an
intellectual
health
and
courage
which
might
have
made
them,
in
more
fierce
and
troublous
times,
capable
of
doing
good
service
with
very
different
instruments
than
the
scalpel
and
the
microscope.
I
have
been
sketching
an
ideal:
but
one
which
I
seriously
recommend
to
the
consideration
of
all
parents;
for,
though
it
be
impossible
and
absurd
to
wish
that
every
young
man
should
grow
up
a
naturalist
by
profession,
yet
this
age
offers
no
more
wholesome
training,
both
moral
and
intellectual,
than
that
which
is
given
by
instilling
into
the
young
an
early
taste
for
outdoor
physical
science.
The
education
of
our
children
is
now
more
than
ever
a
puzzling
problem,
if
by
education
we
mean
the
development
of
the
whole
humanity,
not
merely
of
some
arbitrarily
chosen
part
of
it.
How
to
feed
the
imagination
with
wholesome
food,
and
teach
it
to
despise
French
novels,
and
that
sugared
slough
of
sentimental
poetry,
in
comparison
with
which
the
old
fairy-tales
and
ballads
were
manful
and
rational;
how
to
counteract
the
tendency
to
shallowed
and
conceited
sciolism,
engendered
by
hearing
popular
lectures
on
all
manner
of
subjects,
which
can
only
be
really
learnt
by
stern
methodic
study;
how
to
give
habits
of
enterprise,
patience,
accurate
observation,
which
the
counting-house
or
the
library
will
never
bestow;
above
all,
how
to
develop
the
physical
powers,
without
engendering
brutality
and
coarseness—
are
questions
becoming
daily
more
and
more
puzzling,
while
they
need
daily
more
and
more
to
be
solved,
in
an
age
of
enterprise,
travel,
and
emigration,
like
the
present.
