Strana 14 - In all pedagogy the great thing is to strike the iron while hot, and to seize the wave of the pupil's interest in each successive subject before its ebb has come, so that knowledge may be got and a habit of skill acquired — a headway of interest, in short, secured, on which afterward the individual may float.
Strana 31 - Eight or ten stand in a line like soldiers, and Herr Wolke is officer. He gives the word in Latin, and they must do whatever he says. For instance, when he says Claudite oculos, they all shut their eyes ; when he says Circumspicite...
Strana 14 - There is a happy moment for fixing skill in drawing, for making boys collectors in natural history, and presently dissectors and botanists; then for initiating them into the harmonies of mechanics and the wonders of physical and chemical law.
Strana 138 - London bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down. London bridge is falling down, My fair lady!
Strana 14 - Leaving lower animals aside, and turning to human instincts, we see the law of transiency corroborated on the widest scale by the alternation of different interests and passions as human life goes on. With the child, life is all play and fairytales and learning the external properties of 'things'; with the youth, it is bodily exercises of a more systematic sort, novels of the real world, boon-fellowship and song...
Strana 31 - I will also teach you. Some one writes a name, and hides it from the children — the name of some part of the body, or of a plant, or animal, or metal — and the children guess what it is. Whoever guesses right gets an apple or a piece of cake. One of the visitors wrote Intestina, and told the children it was a part of the body.
Strana 32 - Experience is daily showing with greater clearness that there is always a method to be found productive of interest — even of delight — and it ever turns out that this is the method proved by all other tests to be the right one.
Strana 184 - Cubit, a measure of length equal to the distance from the elbow to the end of the middle finger.
Strana iii - Man plays only where he is a human being in the fullest sense of the word, and he has reached full humanity only when he plays.
Strana 135 - I put my right hand in, I put my right hand out; I give my right hand a shake, shake, shake, And turn myself about, oh.
