Let children feed on the good, the excellent, the great! Don't get in their way with little lectures, facts, and guided tours!

The teacher who allows his scholars the freedom of the city of books is at liberty to be their guide, philosopher and friend; and is no longer the mere instrument of forcible intellectual feeding.

Composition is as natural as jumping and running to children who have been allowed due use of books.

The people themselves begin to clamour for an education which shall qualify their children for life rather than for earning a living. As a matter of fact, it is the man who has read and thought on many subjects who is, with the necessary training, the most capable whether in handling tools, drawing plans, or keeping books.

Education, like faith, is the evidence of things not seen.

An observant child should be put in the way of things worth observing.

Look on education as something between the child's soul and God. Modern Education tends to look on it as something between the child's brain and the standardized test.
