" The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home. "

" Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse hime to his innermost core. "

" When the atmosphere encourages learning, the learning is irresistible. "

" There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent. "
