1.The Pleasure of Learning
Gilbert Highet Gilbert Highet thinks that learning is a natural pleasure, inborn and instinctive, one of t
he innate pleasures of the human race. However, this pleasure is not confined to learning from textbooks. It is found in all kinds of experience, practice, art, craft and exploration.

A s most schools are set up today, learning is compulsory1. It
is an Ought, even worse, a Must, enforced by regular hours
and rigid discipline. And the young sneer at the Oughts and
resist the Musts with all their energy. The feeling often lasts through
a lifetime. For too many of us, learning appears to be a surrender of
our own will to external direction, a sort of enslavement2.
This is a mistake. Learning is a natural pleasure, inborn and
instinctive3, one of the essential pleasures of the human race. Watch
a small child, at an age too young to have had any mental habits
implanted by training. Some delightful films made by the late Dr.
Arnold Gesell of Yale University show little creatures who can
barely talk investigating problems with all the zeal4and excitement
of explorers, making discoveries with the passion and absorption of
dedicated scientists. At the end of each successful investigation, there
comes over each tiny face an expression of pure heart-felt pleasure.
But if the pleasure of learning is universal, why are there so
many dull, incurious5people in the world? It is because they were
made dull, by bad teaching, by isolation, by surrender to routine6,
