In 1858, Anthony Trollope, in his novel “Doctor Thorne” wrote, “He argued that the principal duty which a parent owed to a child was to make him happy.”
Happy is not immediate gratification; it is long-range, salubrious satisfaction. Happy — in the context of parental duty pertaining school — is best explained by Dr. Austin O’Malley, M.D./professor of English at Notre Dame in 1902. O’Malley said, “Education should be a conscious, methodical application of the best means in the wisdom of the ages to the end that youth may know how to live completely.”
