It may be asked me, I recognise, of the root of " what" matter I so complacently speak, and if I say " Why, of the matter of our having with considerable intensity proved educable, or, if you like better, teachable, that is accessible to experience," it may again be retorted: " That won't do for a decent account of a young consciousness; for think of all the things that the failure of method, of which you make so light, didn't put into yours; think of the splendid economy of a real- or at least of a planned and attempted education, a 'regular course of instruction'- and then think of the waste involved in the so inferior substitute of which the pair of you were evidently victims."
