The Basic Aim of True Education
Abstract
The youngest novice in the realm of educational achievement fully realizes that the teacher is to the child what the sculptor is to the block of marble. As the sculptor carves from the rough stone the symmetrically perfect and beautiful statue which is to excite universal admiration, so, too, does the teacher fashion the crude impressionable lumps of clay, daily ranged before him, "the gold and silver, brass and iron, stone and wood, hay and straw of nature."
