“The most necessary task of civilization is to teach people how to think. It should be the primary purpose of our public schools. The mind of a child is naturally active, it develops through exercise. Give a child plenty of exercise, for body and brain.

It does not encourage original thought or reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory than observation.”
