Excerpt from Thoughts on Education: Speeches and Sermons "No subject so much repays our study as the development of the young mind. We see in it the germs of the future, and the sight strengthens us to look mote trustfully, more hopefully on the present." "The two chief means of teaching are exaggeration and paradox. One or other is necessary to attract attention and show reason for independent thought." "Do not try to alter the development of a young mind, try only to direct it. "The great function of the teacher is to be a kind of mustard blister. He must apply himself to as many minds as possible. He is only doing his work when he is producing a feeling of irritation which may tend to awaken intelligence and stimulate the growth of character. "The surest sign of social progress is increasing interest in the generation that is to come." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
