第 93 頁 - If we would mold the living sculpture, we must first fashion our implements out of purity, simplicity, love, and trust. We are watched, we are studied, we are searched through and through by those we undertake to lead — not in a jealous or malignant criticism, but in earnest good faith.
第 74 頁 - Learning condemns beyond the reach of hope The careless lips that speak of soap for soap; Her edict exiles from her fair abode The clownish voice that utters road for road; Less stern to him, who calls his coat a coat, And steers his boat, believing it a boat, She pardoned one, our classic city's boast, Who said, at Cambridge, most instead of most, But knit her brows and stamped her angry foot To hear a Teacher call a root a root.
第 30 頁 - First, to find out a spacious house and ground about it fit for an academy, and big enough to lodge a hundred and fifty persons, whereof twenty or thereabout may be attendants, all under the government of one, who shall be thought of desert sufficient, and ability either to do all, or wisely to direct and oversee it done.

From the very nature of the...
第 92 頁 - Still another of the silent but formative agencies in education is that combination of physical signs and motions which we designate in the aggregate as manners. Some one has said, " A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face ; but a beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form. It is the finest of the fine arts. It abolishes all considerations of magnitude, and equals the majesty of the world.
第 108 頁 - On the other hand, we contend that, as in the general education of childhood, tbe disciplinary and enforced should gradually pass over into the intellectual and the voluntary ; so in the special education of the college the drillwork should at each successive stage give ampler and still ampler place for the reflective and aesthetic activities of the pupil. In the mathematics there is less room for such a progress. The pure mathematics can never be anything but a pure gymnastic to sharp analysis,...
第 91 頁 - Some people think man is only a machine, and that the only difference between a man and a mill is, that one is carried by blood and the other by water.
第 102 頁 - The effort a boy makes is a hundred times more valuable to him than the knowledge acquired as the result of the effort.
第 21 頁 - FACULTIES, have labored in our behalf, it is not ungrateful in us to doubt their being equal to the educational management of the schools in all its completeness. In becoming superintendents they cease to be teachers ; they are no longer on the same ground where they stood before, and where, as I have ventured to assert, it is best for our educational managers to stand. They are in an office whose functions are not merely educational, but...
