Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Logic
Logic, or the Art of Reasoning correctly, is the most important discipline that can mark a school or a college. The Greek and the Latin, the modern tongues, geometry, the calculus, natural philosophy in each of its parts, and several other branches easy to be mentioned, are all highly useful studies; but their utility is far inferior to that of Logic; and it must be declared to be an unfortunate mistake to give them precedence over it. A principal end of education is to train the scholar so as to be successful in life. The whole success of life, however, essentially de pends ou having an understanding capable of reasoning well on the occasions which life presents. But Logic, and Logic alone, whether natural or acquired, confers this faculty. Logic, therefore, should be the leading study, a sine qua non even, wherever the young are educated. Man is a rational being. Therefore, let him know how to exercise his reason. No accomplishment can balance a deficiency in this respect.
Thus far, Logic has been a greatly neglected study in the United States. Mathematics, chemistry, geography, the languages. Ancient and living, have put it out of doors in the majority of schools and colleges. It is an insane procedure against truth and intellect, and even morals, for which adequate reparation can never be made. The act has kept away from tens of thousands of noble minds the nourishment and the inspiration, the grace and the finish, to which, certainly, they had a most sacred claim, and with which in society they might have done great things.
