Excerpt from A Study of Things the School Should Do for the Child, Suggestions on Study of U. S. History, and Arithmetic, and Some Gains
The child has a right to look to the teacher for light and guidance. It is his privilege to stand between the masters and the child and with an expression more halting, render it possible for him to make com panions of these great souls and drink of the fountains which they, like Longfellow's Pegasus, have left for the refreshment of all who will drink.
