Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore
·
Charles Kingsley
37
A
frightful
majority
of
our
middle-class
young
men
are
growing
up
effeminate,
empty
of
all
knowledge
but
what
tends
directly
to
the
making
of
a
fortune;
or
rather,
to
speak
correctly,
to
the
keeping
up
the
fortunes
which
their
fathers
have
made
for
them;
while
of
the
minority,
who
are
indeed
thinkers
and
readers,
how
many
women
as
well
as
men
have
we
seen
wearying
their
souls
with
study
undirected,
often
misdirected;
craving
to
learn,
yet
not
knowing
how
or
what
to
learn;
cultivating,
with
unwholesome
energy,
the
head
at
the
expense
of
the
body
and
the
heart;
catching
up
with
the
most
capricious
self-will
one
mania
after
another,
and
tossing
it
away
again
for
some
new
phantom;
gorging
the
memory
with
facts
which
no
one
has
taught
them
to
arrange,
and
the
reason
with
problems
which
they
have
no
method
for
solving;
till
they
fret
themselves
in
a
chronic
fever
of
the
brain,
which
too
often
urge
them
on
to
plunge,
as
it
were,
to
cool
the
inward
fire,
into
the
ever-restless
seas
of
doubt
or
of
superstition.
It
is
a
sad
picture.
There
are
many
who
may
read
these
pages
whose
hearts
will
tell
them
that
it
is
a
true
one.
What
is
wanted
in
these
cases
is
a
methodic
and
scientific
habit
of
mind;
and
a
class
of
objects
on
which
to
exercise
that
habit,
which
will
fever
neither
the
speculative
intellect
nor
the
moral
sense;
and
those
physical
science
will
give,
as
nothing
else
can
give
it.
