in the most ungainly�察�estimating each thing not carnally�察�as the vulgar do�察�
by its size or its pleasantness to the senses�察�but spiritually�察�by the amount
of Divine thought revealed to Man therein�察�holding every phenomenon
worth the noting down�察 �believing that every pebble holds a treasure�察�
every bud a revelation�察 �making it a point of conscience to pass over
nothing through laziness or hastiness�察 �lest the vision once offered and
despised should be withdrawn�察�and looking at every object as if he were
never to behold it again。
Moreover�察 �he must keep himself free from all those perturbations of
mind which not only weaken energy�察 �but darken and confuse the
inductive faculty�察 �from haste and laziness�察 �from melancholy�察 �testiness�察�
pride�察�and all the passions which make men see only what they wish to
see。 Of solemn and scrupulous reverence for truth�察�of the habit of mind
which regards each fact and discovery�察�not as our own possession�察�but as
the possession of its Creator�察�independent of us�察�our tastes�察�our needs�察�or
our vain´glory�察 �I hardly need to speak�察 �for it is the very essence of a
nature's faculty ´ the very tenure of his existence�此 �and without
truthfulness science would be as impossible now as chivalry would have
been of old。
And last�察�but not least�察�the perfect naturalist should have in him the
very essence of true chivalry�察 �namely�察 �self´devotion�察 �the desire to
advance�察 �not himself and his own fame or wealth�察 �but knowledge and
mankind。 He should have this great virtue�察 �and in spite of many
shortcomings ��for what man is there who liveth and sinneth not�殖��察�
naturalists as a class have it to a degree which makes them stand out
most honourably in the midst of a self´seeking and mammonite
generation�察 �inclined to value everything by its money price�察 �its private
utility。 The spirit which gives freely�察 �because it knows that it has
received freely�察�which communicates knowledge without hope of reward�察�
without jealousy and rivalry�察�to fellow´ students and to the world�察�which is
content to delve and toil comparatively unknown�察�that from its obscure
and seemingly worthless results others may derive pleasure�察 �and even
build up great fortunes�察�and change the very face of cities and lands�察�by

the practical use of some stray talisman which the poor student has
invented in his laboratory�察 � this is the spirit which is abroad among our
scientific men�察�to a greater degree than it ever has been among any body
of men for many a century past�察�and might well be copied by those who
profess deeper purposes and a more exalted calling�察�than the discovery
of a new zoophyte�察�or the classification of a moorland crag。
And it is these qualities�察 �however imperfectly they may be realized
in any individual instance�察�which make our scientific men�察�as a class�察�the
wholesomest and pleasantest of companions abroad�察 �and at home the
most blameless�察�simple�察�and cheerful�察�in all domestic relations�察�men for
the most part of manful heads�察 �and yet of childlike hearts�察 �who have
turned to quiet study�察�in these late piping times of peace�察�an intellectual
health and courage which might have made them�察 �in more fierce and
troublous times�察 �capable of doing good service with very different
instruments than the scalpel and the microscope。
I have been sketching an ideal�此 �but one which I seriously
recommend to the consideration of all parents�察 �for�察 �though it be
impossible and absurd to wish that every young man should grow up a
naturalist by profession�察�yet this age offers no more wholesome training�察�
both moral and intellectual�察�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�察�if by education we
mean the development of the whole humanity�察 �not merely of some
arbitrarily chosen part of it。 How to feed the imagination with
wholesome food�察�and teach it to despise French novels�察�and that sugared
slough of sentimental poetry�察 �in comparison with which the old fairy´
tales and ballads were manful and rational�察 �how to counteract the
tendency to shallowed and conceited sciolism�察 �engendered by hearing
popular lectures on all manner of subjects�察 �which can only be really
learnt by stern methodic study�察 �how to give habits of enterprise�察�
patience�察�accurate observation�察�which the counting´house or the library
will never bestow�察 �above all�察 �how to develop the physical powers�察�
without engendering brutality and coarseness ´ are questions becoming
daily more and more puzzling�察�while they need daily more and more to

be solved�察�in an age of enterprise�察�travel�察 �and emigration�察�like the present。
For the truth must be told�察�that the great majority of men who are now
distinguished by commercial success�察 �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�察�and had
in their youth all the advantages of a sturdy and manful hill´side or sea´
side training�察�men whose bodies were developed�察�and their lungs fed on
pure breezes�察�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 thei
