"Misconceptions Regarding Education" by J. M. M'Culloch. This 1876 treatise argues against prevailing convictions about education, urging a broad, lifelong, and morally grounded view of cultivation. Education, he maintains, is not limited to youth or to the classroom but is culture—physical, intellectual, moral, and religious—shaped by many educators, including the home, peers, and life events. He criticizes the idea that school tuition is the chief element of juvenile education and emphasizes the vital role of self-culture and parental guidance. He defends the value of classical studies as a powerful instrument of mental discipline and linguistic mastery, while warning against the exclusive pursuit of “useful” knowledge or professional training. The author also argues for serious female education, the compatibility of liberal education with practical life, and the necessity of religious instruction within schooling. Overall, the work presents a reformist program for education grounded in Christian principles and broad human cultivation.
