We Are Only Now On The Threshold Of Knowing The Range Of The Educability Of Man-the Perfectibility Of Man. We Have Never Addressed Ourselves To This Problem Before.

Teaching Is The Canny Art Of Intellectual Temptation

It Is Sentimentalism To Assume That The Teaching Of Life Can Always Be Fitted To The Child's Interests, Just As It Is Empty Formalism To Force The Child To Parrot The Formulas Of Adult Society. Interests Can Be Created And Stimulated.
