• No cabe duda de que hay que proteger a los jóvenes de hoy contra ciertos efectos venenosos inherentes a la civilización actual. Cinco enfermedades sociales les rodean, incluso en la primera infancia. Está el declive de la forma física debido a los métodos modernos de locomoción; el declive de la iniciativa debido a la enfermedad generalizada de la espectatoritis; el declive del cuidado y la habilidad debido al debilitamiento de la tradición artesanal; el declive de la autodisciplina debido a la disponibilidad siempre presente de tranquilizantes y estimulantes, y el declive de la compasión, que William Temple llamó "muerte espiritual".

They have the joy of movement; they have an enterprising curiosity; they are ready for sensible self-denial; they dream ahead, and they have a faithful memory, and, above all, great compassion... The well-meaning educator who flatters and humours the young not only does a disservice to the community, but also damages the individual by depriving him of the opportunities of self-discovery.
