trust from a teacher, who, knowing the facts by his own knowledge, can

competent ideas concerning them. The system which I repudiate is that
which allows teachers who have not come into direct contact with the
leading facts of a science to pass their second-hand information on.

a succession of organisms, will lose all its effect in protecting the
young against the intellectual epidemics to which they are exposed.]
