repression and oppression in the secondary and higher departments of
instruction.]

[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.)]

ibid., 145 and 146.--(Words of a fervent Catholic, M. de Montalembert, on
the trial of the Free School, Sept.29, 1831.) "It is with a heart still
distressed with these souvenirs (personal) that I here declare that,

in ignorance and idleness than expose them to the horrible risk I ran

and of honor and virtue in their breast."--(Testimony of a zealous
Protestant, M. de Gasparin.) "Religious education does not really

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 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.]
