• The most necessary task of civilization is to teach people how to think. It should be the primary purpose of our public schools.

The trouble with our way of educating is that it does not give elasticity to the mind. It casts the brain into a mold. It insists that the child must accept. It does not encourage original thought or reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory than observation.
