Note 19 — Chapter II · THE STATISTICIANS.
Henry P. (Henry Pomeroy) Horton translation
“Criminality comes from a lack of vitality. It is an anemia. In order to prevent it we must excite a desire for activity.” It is in this that the usefulness of education appears. The man who knows how to read and write, has in his hands an instrument which can multiply his means of action indefinitely.19
