stood education 20 be two-fold. The TWO
elements are always found together.
Education consisted OF Instruction ami
training The former Is given TO The
young mind. out OF the vast knowledge
which the world had accumulated, The
child must be given the choice OF the
material The best must be picked out
and given. knowledge, power, and
character must be developed in the mind
OF the child Knowledge. power, and
character must be developed together. IN
citing some Of the ridiculous mistakes
educated people often make. he spoke or
