Some experiences are mis-educative. Any experience is mis-educative that has the effect of arresting or distorting the growth of further experience.

The aim of education is growth: the aim of growth is more growth

Without initiation into the scientific spirit one is not in possession of the best tools which humanity has so far devised for effectively directed reflection. One in that case not merely conducts inquiry and learning without the use of the best instruments, but fails to understand the full meaning of knowledge.

Just because life signifies not bare passive existence (supposing there is such a thing), but a way of acting, environment or medium signifies what enters into this activity as a sustaining or frustrating condition.

Since in reality there is nothing to which growth is relative save more growth, there is nothing to which education is subordinate save more education.‎

Education as growth or maturity should be an ever-present process.

...the moment of passage from disturbance into harmony is that of intensest life.
