rained into habits of self-control, or his mind provided with the necessary elementary branches requisite for the prosecution of further study. Sec. 47. (1) The subjective limit of education (on the negative side) is to be found in the individuality of the pupil--the limit to his natural capacity. Sec. 48. (2) The objective limit to education lies in the amount of time that the person may devote to his training. It, therefore, depends largely upon wealth, or other fortunate circumstances. Sec. 49. (3) The absolute limit of education is the positive limit (see Sec. 46), beyond which the youth passes into freedom from the school, as a necessary instrumentality for further culture. Sec. 50. The pre-arranged pattern-making work of the school is now done, but self-education may and should go on indefinitely, and will go on if the education of the school has really arrived at its "absolute" limit--_i.e._, has fitted the pupil for self-education. Emancipation from the school does not emancipate one from learning through his fellow-men. Man's spiritual life is one depending upon cooeperation with his fellow-men. Each must avail himself of the experience of his fellow-men, and in turn communicate his own experience to the common fund of the race. Thus each lives the life of the whole, and all live for each. School-education gives the pupil the instrumentalities with which to enable him to participate in this fund of experience--this common life of the race. After school-education comes the still more valuable education, which, however, without the school, would be in a great measure impossible. ERRATA. Sec. 26. Last two paragraphs should be within quotation marks, being from an English author. Sec. 29. The second and third paragraphs belong to Sec. 30.--the numbering being omitted. Sec. 33. Line four--"instructive" should be "intuitive." SECOND PART. The Special Elements of Education. Sec. 51. Education is the development of the theoretical and practical Reason which is inborn in the human being. Its end is to be accomplished by the labor which transforms a condition, existent at first only as an ideal, into a fixed habit, and changes the natural individuality into a glorified humanity. When the youth stands, so to speak, on his own feet, he is emancipated from education, and education then finds its limit. The special elements which may be said to make up education are the life, the cog
