HIM: It would be so easy for me to prove to you the uselessness of all those subjects in a world like ours. Did I say uselessness  perhaps I should have said danger. But for the moment I'll confine myself to one question: Won't one or two teachers be necessary?

ME: If there was a good teacher of harmony, I would willingly entrust her to him for two hours a day for one or two years, no more. HIM: And in the place of these essential things you are cutting out... ME: I put grammar, literature, history, geography, a little drawing, and a great deal of moral instruction.
