...interest of the common school; that they should be interested in politics, have opinions, scan principles, and not stand aloof because of the cry against parties or politicians; that they should be afraid of error, never be afraid of truth, and never suffer themselves to speak with disdain of faith, for this is the beginning and the end of all science...
