Mothers and teachers
"Mothers and Teachers Should Know About Nature: The mother cannot devote herself too much to this kind of reading, not only that she may read tid-bits to the children about matters they have come across, but that she may be able to answer their queries and direct their observations... Any womanwho is likely to spend an hour or two in the society of children, should make herself mistress of this sort of information; the children will adore her for knowing what they want to know, and who knows but she may give its bent to some young mind destined to do great things for the world."
Charlotte Mason, Home Education (Union Maine: Charlotte Mason Research & Supply, 2001), 64. Home Education was first published in 1886. |
