Thiers, at a private session of the corn nission on primary education of 1849, said: I wish to make the influence of the clergy all powerful because I count upon it to propagate that good philosophy which teaches man that he is here below to suffer, and not that other philos 0phy which on the contrary bids man to enjoy.
