“I regard it as a great error to require a child to study what his mind is not capable of appreciating. The tendency is to diminish his fondness for study; to give him a vague way of thinking, since he is not accustomed to see the precise point; and by overtasking the mind, his health both of body and mind are endangered.”

—Letter from Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson to his sister regarding the education of her son.
October 23,1858.
