ing practical education as his

struction and education and said
that the boy or girl who returned
home after a period of instrue-
ton. without a higher purpose in
life and a greater love for mother
and father and all humanity was
not educated, but had merely
received a course of instruction.

heart as well as the mind that.
the child may become the finished
