Indeed if the education is to have its maximum result, it must begin even before birth: it is the mother herself who proceeds with this education by means of a two-fold action, first upon herself for her own improvement, and secondly, upon the child which she is forming within her physically. Like fire in a piece of flint, knowledge exists in the mind: suggestion is the friction that brings it out. All knowledge and all power are within.
That system which aims at educating our boys in the same manner as that of the man who battered his ass, being advised that it could thereby be turned into a horse, should be abolished.
