QOTD

"Education is the art of drawing out, or developing the faculties, of training human beings for the functions for which they are destined.  To educate is from the Latin educere, to lead out, to bring up, as to bring up a child mentally or physically...  Education is properly to draw forth, and implies not so much the communication of knowledge as the discipline of the intellect, the establishment of the principles, and the regulation of the heart." -- George Emery Littlefield, Eary Schools and School-Books of New England (emphasis mine)
