Churchill, 1693. *** "His thought was marked by a ready understanding of, and sympathy with, children. Throughout he placed emphasis on good example, practice, and use rather than on precepts, rules, and punishment. The work was an implicit of his own education at Westminster and Oxford, which he found unpleasant and largely useless" - James Gordon Clapp, Ency. of Philosophy, p.500.
