Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instinct and Intelligence The meaning of the term Education is "to draw out what is in a child"; it therefore includes the training of his inherited instinctive disposition or character, as well as the "putting in" needful knowledge, or the "instruction" of his intellectual faculties. Educationists of the present time appear to exaggerate the importance of training the intellect, and are apt to overlook the fact that each individual possesses certain instinctive qualities which to a large extent determine his behaviour throughout life. These qualities, which no human power can eradicate, may, however, be favourably modified by appropriate training.
