Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore
·
Charles Kingsley
36
For
the
truth
must
be
told,
that
the
great
majority
of
men
who
are
now
distinguished
by
commercial
success,
have
had
a
training
the
directly
opposite
to
that
which
they
are
giving
to
their
sons.
They
are
for
the
most
part
men
who
have
migrated
from
the
country
to
the
town,
and
had
in
their
youth
all
the
advantages
of
a
sturdy
and
manful
hill-side
or
sea-side
training;
men
whose
bodies
were
developed,
and
their
lungs
fed
on
pure
breezes,
long
before
they
brought
to
work
in
the
city
the
bodily
and
mental
strength
which
they
had
gained
by
loch
and
moor.
But
it
is
not
so
with
their
sons.
Their
business
habits
are
learnt
in
the
counting-house;
a
good
school,
doubtless,
as
far
as
it
goes:
but
one
which
will
expand
none
but
the
lowest
intellectual
faculties;
which
will
make
them
accurate
accountants,
shrewd
computers
and
competitors,
but
never
the
originators
of
daring
schemes,
men
able
and
willing
to
go
forth
to
replenish
the
earth
and
subdue
it.
And
in
the
hours
of
relaxation,
how
much
of
their
time
is
thrown
away,
for
want
of
anything
better,
on
frivolity,
not
to
say
on
secret
profligacy,
parents
know
too
well;
and
often
shut
their
eyes
in
very
despair
to
evils
which
they
know
not
how
to
cure.
