Genesis xv, 18]
[Footnote 75: Without haste, but without rest: from Goethe's Zahme
Xenien. In a letter to his sister, Huxley says: "And then perhaps by the
following of my favorite motto,--
"'Wie das Gestirn,
Ohne Hast,
Ohne Rast'--
something may be done, and some of Sister Lizzie's fond
imaginations turn out not altogether untrue." The quotation entire
is as follows:--
Wie das Gestirn,
Ohne Hast,
Aber ohne Rast,
Drehe sich jeder
Um die eigne Last.]
THE PRINCIPAL SUBJECTS OF EDUCATION (1882)
[Footnote 76: The Principal Subjects of Education: an extract from the
essay, Science and Art in Relation to Education.]
[Footnote 77: this discussion: "this" refers to the last sentence in the
preceding paragraph, in which Huxley says that it will be impossible to
determine the amount of time to be given to the principal subjects
of education until it is determined "what the principal subjects of
education ought to be."]
[Footnote 78: Francis Bacon: cf. note [Footnote 26].]
[Footnote 79: the best chance of being happy: In connection with
Huxley's work on the London School Board, his biographer says that
Huxley did not regard "intellectual training only from the utilitarian
point of view; he insisted, e. g., on the value of reading for amusement
as one of the most valuable uses to hardworked people.
