Moral and Intellectual Education (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Moral and Intellectual Education In most works on Education, children are repte sented as little culprits, with innumerable faults and vices to be corrected. My views are quite different. Undoubtedly we are all born in sin; children come into the world with an original stain, which may account for the natural tendency to evil: but childrenare also endowed with noble qualities, containing the seeds of the most elevated sentiments, and virtues. Instead therefore of considering the child as a crimi nal, ever ready to err, and requiring constant severity, I have considered him as the noble descendant of a chosen, though fallen race, whose dignity should be restored.
