Education is either from nature, from man or from things. The developing of our faculties and organs is the education of nature; that of man is the application we learn to make of this very developing; and that of things is the experience we acquire in regard to the different objects by which we are affected.

If we were to remove the Bible from public schools we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.
The only thing that is more expensive than education is ignorance.
One of the troubles of the day, observes Mr. C. N. Peac, is that once we came upon the little red schoolhouse, whereas now we come upon the little-read school boy.
Because of our sacred regard for each human intellect, we consider the obtaining of an education to be a religious responsibility.
You don't have the moral right to hold one child back to make another child feel better.
