Every right is married to a duty, every freedom owns a corresponding responsibility.
There cannot be genuine freedom unless there exists also genuine order in the moral realm and in the social realm. Without such a renewed true virtue, our commonwealth may not endure. The school cannot very well form good moral habits, having its pupils within walls only a few hours in the week, and then under artificial restraint. Yet schools may do much to wake the moral imagination which is another path to the apprehension of meaning. Yet neither the person nor the republic can long endure unharmed if education continues to ignore reason, imagination and conscience.
