“One of the secrets of the educator is to present nothing as stale knowledge, but to put himself in the position of the child and wonder and admire with him. For every common miracle which the child sees with his own eyes makes of him for the moment another Newton. The children, not the teachers, are the responsible persons; they do the work by self-effort…The teachers give the uplift of their sympathy in the work, but the actual work is done by the scholars.”
