Side 9 - To prepare us for complete living is the function which education has to discharge; and the only rational mode of judging of an educational course is, to judge in what degree it discharges such function.
Side 93 - Children should be led to make their own investigations, and to draw their own inferences. They should be told as little as possible, and induced to discover as much as possible.
Side 9 - In what way to treat the body; in what way to treat the mind; in what way to manage our affairs; in what way to bring up a family; in what way to behave as a citizen; in what way to utilize those sources of happiness which Nature supplies— how to use all our faculties to the greatest advantage of ourselves and others— how to live completely?
Side 177 - As remarks a suggestive writer, the first requisite to success in life is " to be a good animal;" and to be a nation of good animals is the first condition to national prosperity.
Side 9 - How to live? — that is the essential question for us. Not how to live in the mere material sense only, but in the widest sense. The general problem which comprehends every special problem is — the right ruling of conduct in all directions under all circumstances.

And in our own universities and...
Side 21 - For, leaving out only some very small classes, what are all men employed in ? They are employed in the production, preparation, and distribution of commodities.

It depends on the use of methods fitted to the respective natures of these commodities ; it depends on an adequate knowledge of their physical, chemical, or vital properties, as the case may be ; that is, it depends on Science.
Side 65 - Paraphrasing an Eastern fable, we may say that in the family of knowledges, Science is the household drudge, who, in obscurity, hides unrecognized perfections. To her has been committed all the work; by her skill, intelligence, and devotion, have all...
Side 47 - Accomplishments, the fine arts, belles-lettres, and all those things which, as we say, constitute the efflorescence of civilization, should be wholly subordinate to that knowledge and discipline in which civilization rests. As they occupy the leisure part of life, so should they occupy the leisure part of education.
Side 64 - For that interpretation of national life, past and present, without which the citizen cannot rightly regulate his conduct, the indispensable key is— Science. Alike for the most perfect production and highest enjoyment of art in all its forms, the needful preparation is still— Science. And for purposes of discipline— intellectual, moral, religious— the most efficient study is, once more— Science.
