Book Description
Excerpt from Knowledge and Practice I Wish to begin by congratulating the chapter of Phi Beta Kappa that has its home at Brown University on its long and honorable traditions, and especially on the eminent services that its members, through successive generations, have rendered to science, to education, and to public life. When I recall even a few names from that long roll of "illustrious living and noble dead" who owe their nurture and inspiration to this University and to this Society, I can appreciate the feelings with which you are assembled for your annual celebration, and am deeply sensible of the honor of being invited to address you on this occasion. The motto of the Phi Beta Kappa society, "Philosophy the pilot of life," furnishes the text for the reflections that I have to lay before you to-day. This motto suggests the famous saying of Socrates in the "Apology," that a life without criticism or examination is not a life worth living for a human being. It is this faculty of reflecting on experience, and finding its value in terms of some general principles, that differentiates the life of man from that of the lower animals. Philosophy in this sense, as reflection, or the effort to estimate the meanings and values that are involved in different experiences of life, may he said to be the essential birthright of man, and is always present in some degree in every human consciousness.

Book Description
Excerpt from Kindergarten Principles and Practice "To be a kindergartner is the perfect development of womanliness, - a working with God at the very fountain of artistic and intellectual power and moral character. It is therefore the highest finish that can be given to a woman's education to be trained for a kindergartuer." - Elizabeth Palmer Peabody. Among the other vocations which have grown up for women in the last quarter century, none is more important, or significant of better things, than that which embraces the training and culture of childhood, for it has drawn into the channel of a scientifically learned and practiced profession the best and highest instincts of the sex. Frederic Denison Maurice says: "The zeal which has been awakened respecting infant education has been of infinite worth, for it is impossible in educating little children to think chiefly of reading, writing, and ciphering.
