Excerpt from Schools and StudiesCivilization has an outer and an inner side. As objec tive, it consists of cities, institutions, religions, and educa tion, as subjective, of spiritual qualities and types of char acter. Heredity deals only with the latter. Such a type of character as the Roman or Jewish almost defies the powers of destruction. Strong are the habits that are bred in the bone. Men often catch but one side of a fact or law. We have heard much of inherent depravity, little of inhet ent goodness. Then men complain that evil habits are so hard to break up, forgetting that the very law which makes them so is our only pledge of the existence and permanence of noble characters. If man's nature were water to him who writes evil, it would needs be water to him who writes good.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
