'Education is more comprehensive than any of the other words before us. It includes the _whole course_ of moral and intellectual teaching. One who gives occasional lessons is not said to _educate_. To _educate_ (agreeably to its derivation, from "e-duco," not "in-duco"), includes the _drawing out_ of the faculties, so as to teach the pupil how to teach him_self_; which is one of the most valuable of arts. 'Moral training, considered _by itself_, is called "teaching;" this constitutes no exception to the rule laid down, as its object is to enable us, not to _know_, but to _do_ what is right.'--(P. 32-34.) 'Few words, perhaps, are more apt to be misapplied than the string of adjectives treated of in the section next quoted--namely, _benevolent, beneficent, charitable, munificent, liberal, bountiful, philanthropic_. 'Benevolent and beneficent, together with their conjugates, have curiously diverged from their original meaning. Etymologically, "benevolent" implied merely _wishing_ well to others, and "beneficent" _doing_ well; _now_, "benevolent" includes both kinds of feelings and actions, and "beneficent" is restricted to acts of kindness on a great scale, and generally performed by some one of exalted station and character: hence, we speak of the "beneficence" rather than the "benevolence" of the Creator. It may perhaps be said to follow from this, that "benevolent" draws our attention more to the character of the agent; "beneficent," to that of the act performed--retaining, so far, a tinge of their etymology. '"Charitable" (when not used in reference to a mild and candid judgment of others) seems to be restricted to one kind of benevolence--that which consists in alms-giving. '"Munificent" resembles "beneficent," in referring always to favours on a large scale, and conferred by superiors; but there is this important difference, that "beneficent" always implies some real and essential good done, while "munificent," as its derivation implies, may be applied equally to any _gift_, whether really useful or not. One who makes a present of jewellery or pictures to a friend, is munificent, but would not be called "beneficent." If he raised a distressed family from starvation, the word "beneficent" would be more appropriate. But one who gives largely to the public, or to some institution, is called munificent. It seems to convey the idea of splendour. No one can be called munificent who does not give on a large scale. 'Any one who is ready to give _freely_, as the etymology implies, on whatever scale, is "liberal." "Bountiful," again, is stronger than "liberal," and implies giving in abundance; it also differs from "liberal" in being restricted to _giving_; while "liberal" is applied to an easy style of expenditure in general; to the reverse, in short, of "stingy," or "miserly." Many people live in a _liberal_ style, who are very far from being "bountiful." Bountiful always seems to imply, giving out of an ample store.
