For ages education has had to do chiefly with the memory. This faculty has been taxed to the utmost, while the other mental powers have not been correspondingly developed. Students have spent their time in laboriously crowding the mind with knowledge, very little of which could be utilized.The education that consists in the training of the memory, tending to discourage independent thought, has a moral bearing which is too little appreciated.
As the student sacrifices the power to reason and judge for himself, he becomes incapable of discriminating between truth and error, and falls an easy prey to deception.
Our reasoning powers were given us for use, and God desires them to be exercised. Come now, and let us reason together. Isaiah 1:18.
