Each particular art is the art of obtaining a certain
measure of happiness in a particular way — i:e:
as far as depends upon the practice of that particular
art

Ethics is the art of obtaining the greatest attainable share of happiness in all manner
of ways and upon all the several occasions
that can occur to a man.

5
Education a branch
of Ethics — respecting
the conduct of minors

The art of education is a branch of Ethics
It is the art of pointing out the methods by which
the conduct of persons within which it is necessary for
their happiness that their conduct be subject to the regulation
of others may be so-regulated as for them to be
conducted each to the attainment of the highest measure
of happiness which his natural faculties and the situation
of life in which he is placed qualify him to obtain.

Education should precede the rest of Ethics at large: because every
man is young before he is old.
