Subjects of instruction to be discarded.
Music – vocal, and in parts: a preparative to
psalmody, a portion of the service of the day.
for males, say of 14 and up from 14 years of age
military exercise. See B.14. Ch.10. National Force
strengthened.
For both sexes, to the way of portion when the season
permitts, and if the situation affords the means, swimming:
taught as an art as well as practiced as a pastime: –
to begin at the earliest ages at which it has been observed
to be practised among savages: – practised latterly
with the heavy cloaths on, as a lesson of security.
While those of military age are occupied in military
exercise, those of inferior age might be exercised in running
or leaping: to which might be added dancing,
which is little more than walking, running and leaping
in concert and in preconcerted figures. – Should
the sexes intermigle in the dance? See B.IV. Pauper
Comforts.
Subjects of instruction to be discarded – Languages, even living;
much more, dead: Grammar, even English: Mathematics,
all the high and difficult branches: Astronomy,
unless, in the maritime situations, & so much of the practical
part as is necessary to navigation: Geography, except
so much as is attained by looking at a map: Poetry:
Oratory: History: Logic. These, some as absolutely, others
as comparatively, undesirable: – Law not as undesirable
(for what could be more desirable?) but as being, in the
present state of it, unattainable.
Religious instruction is already provided for by the appropriate
service of the day.
