Excerpt from Clay Modelling: For Schools, a Progressive Course for Primary and Grammar GradesEmerson says that the healthy growth of the mind is just in proportion to the activity of thoughts on the study of outward objects. (natural History of Intellect, p. Modern science says the same thing when it teaches that the human brain is by no means developed by the study of books alone, but very largely by the use of the hand. History also shows how tools and weapons have been the means of immense mental growth in the human race before the invention of printing. The scholarly Romans were conquered by our illiterate ancestors the Goths and Saxons, who proved themselves to be statesmen as well as warriors. It is certainly safe to say that there have been centuries of brain development in the evolution of man, comparatively few of which have been in¿uenced by books.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
