“Miss Mason looked on education as something between the child’s soul and God. Modern education tends to look on it as something between the child’s brain and the examination board. I think that covers the issues at stake; it is part of the whole modern policy of quick returns, of the substitution of immediate and temporary values for ultimate and absolute ones.” – Monk Gibbon

Have you ever heard of I. Lilias Trotter, Nancy? The reason I ask is that I really enjoy her writings and art work (she was a missionary to Algerian Muslims) and she was connected to Ruskin…very interesting story! 🙂
Yes, yes, yes. I need to revisit her, though. I do remember the Ruskin connection. Thanks!
Blossom in the Desert is a beautiful sample of her writing and her paintings…otherwise, I'm reading a biography by Patricia St. John on her that is very interesting. 🙂
Color me impressed – Katie did a beautiful job! And the books are, of course, lovely. The quote's pretty awesome too.
Thanks, Beth!
!!!!! Good stuff!!! <3
Lovely!
Thank you, Natasha.
I like the Ginn Plutarch there!
I thought you might catch that!
How absolutely true. Something we contine to strive for in our home shcools. 🙂
I agree, Sarah!
Wow, I just re-read my post and the spelling mistakes…oh my!!! My brain working quicker than my fingers can type.
