He that has found 11 way to keep a child's spirit easy, active, and free, and yet at the same time to restrain him from many things he has a mind to, and to draw him to things that are uneasy to him, has. in my opinion, got the true secret of education.

- Locke

Education must be gained by the person who is being educated chiefly through his own interest and energy. There are too many schemes, plans and systems and not enough of the simple, fundamental things that under­lie genuine education. It seems that too often we start building the roof in place of the foundation of our educational structure.

- Albert A. Riggs

No unskilled hand should ever play upon a harp, whose sounds remain forever in its strings.

-Horace Mann
