Stran 141 - There is now no place, or only a most uncomfortable one, for those boys who are strong in perception, apt in manipulation and correct in the interpretation of phenomena, but who are not good at memorizing or rehearsing the opinions and statements of others; or who, by their diffidence or slowness of speech, are unfitted for ordinary intellectual gymnastics.
Stran 25 - Parsons Cooke, in addressing a body of students at Harvard recently, said : " When advocating in our mother university of Cambridge, in Old England, the claims of scientific culture, I was pushed with an argument which had very great weight with the eminent English scholars present, and which, you will be surprised to learn, was regarded as fatal to the success of the natural science triposes then under debate.

Such a course would necessarily be long and severe.
Stran 165 - I consider that the results go far to prove that manual training is so great a relief to the iteration of school work that it is a positive benefit rather than a detriment to the course in the •other studies.

The workshop method of instruction is of great educational value, for it brings the learner face to face with the facts of nature ; his mind increases in knowledge by direct personal experience with forms of matter and manifestations of force. No mere words intervene. The manual exercises of the shop train mental power,...
Stran 267 - ... or less powerful through the remaining years of his life. Of the severer forms of athletic competition and contest, which injuriously affect the constitution and permanently impair the vital force, but one thing can be said : they are evil and only evil. No earthly object, except the saving of others' lives or the defence of one's country, could justify such destructive exercises and exertions.
Stran 188 - As a great object lesson in chemistry, as a means of promoting care, patience, and foresight, as a study of cause and effect, as a medium of conveying useful information, irrespective altogether of the practical value of the art acquired, the short course, which alone the means at command allowed to be given to each class of girls, has constituted, 1 do not doubt, the best body of purely educational training which any girl of all those classes ever experienced within the same number of hours.
