Passive acceptance of the teacher's wisdom is easy for most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favor of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader; to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.
