The whole time of the individual is comprized within the
field of education

The whole time of an individual at this as at any other period of life, may be divided distinguished
into the quiescent part and the active: – the quiescent
is filled up by sleep – the active by occupations.
The whole sum or mass of his occupations taken together
has or ought to have will have be or ought to be directed to points in view objects. 1. Subsistence.

for the day is provided for by food and other
necessaries: existence for future days is provided for

the fruit. Labour, productive labour, being therefore necessary to
the preservation of the species, and not the necessity
nor any individual capable of being released from the
burthen of it but by its being shifted off upon
another, it this occupation takes precedence in the order of importance
