Oh, imbeciles, idiots, inexcusable owls! The whole of a child's development goes on from the great dynamic centers, and is basically non-mental.

To introduce mental activity is to arrest the dynamic activity, and stultify true dynamic development.
By the age of twenty-one our young people are helpless, hopeless, selfless, floundering mental entities, with nothing in front of them, because they have been starved from the roots, systematically, for twenty-one years, and fed through the head.

They have had all their mental excitements, sex and everything, all through the head, and when it comes to the actual thing, why, there's nothing in it.

_Blase._ The affective centers have been exhausted from the head.
Before the age of fourteen, children should be taught only to move, to act, to _do_.

And they should be taught as little as possible even of this.
