hers in the primary schools.--Six hundred and eleven teachers revoked.--There was no less repression and oppression in the secondary and higher departments of instruction.] [Footnote 6334: Kingdom of July, (Louis-Philippe from 1830 to 24-2-1848.) (SR.)] [Footnote 6335: De Riancey, ibid., II.., 476. (Words of M. Saint-Marc Girardin.) "We instruct, we do not bring up (children); we cultivate and develop the mind, not the heart."--Similar evidence, as for instance that of M. Dubois, director of the Ecole Normale and of M. Guizot, minister of public instruction. "Education is not up to the level of instruction." (Exposition of the intent of the law of 1836.)] [Footnote 6336: De Riancey, ibid., II., 401, 475.--Thureau-Dangin, ibid., 145 and 146.--(Words of a fervent Catholic, M. de Montalembert, on the trial of the Free School, Sept.29, 1831.)

But it is certain that we were not Christians."--Testimony of a free-thinker, Sainte-Beuve.) "In mass, the professors of the University, without being hostile to religion, are not religious. The pupils feel this, and they leave this atmosphere, not fed on irreligion, but indifferent.... One goes away from the University but little of a Christian."] [Footnote 6337: Boissier, ibid., p.712] [Footnote 6338: In my youth, I was able to talk with some of those who lived during the Consulate. All agreed in opinion. One, an admirer of Condillac and founder of a boarding-school, had written for his pupils a number of small elementary treatises, which I still possess.] [Footnote 6339: Charles Hamel, "Histoire de Juilly," pp. 413, 419 (1818).--Ibid., 532, 665 (April 15, 1846.)
