ABSTRACT

Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life, especially well in the neat diagrammatic form in which it appears on the covers of Library books. Education is the Science of Relations, a child should be brought up to have relations of force with earth and water, should run and ride, swim and skate, lift and carry; should know texture, and work in material. The less parents and teachers talk-in and expound their rations of knowledge and thought to the children they are educating, the better for the children. Peptonised food for a healthy stomach does not tend to a vigorous digestion. Children must be allowed to ruminate, must be left alone with their own thoughts. However imperfectly, to make education a science of relationships-in other words, try in one subject or another to let the children work upon living ideas.
