Anonymous Quotes
Some May Think There Is Danger Of Setting Too High A Standard Of Action. I Have Heard Teachers Contend That A Child Will Learn To Write Much Faster By Having An Inferior Copy, Than By Imitating One Which Is Comparatively Perfect; 'because,' Say They, 'a Pupil Is Liable To Be Discouraged If You Give Him A Perfect Copy; But If It Is Only A Little In Advance Of His Own, He Will Take Courage From The Belief That He Shall Soon Be Able To Equal It.' I Am Fully Convinced, However, That This Is Not So. The More Perfect The Copy You Place Before The Child, Provided It Be Written, And Not Engraved, The Better. For It Must Always Be Possible In The Nature Of Things, For The Child To Imitate It; And What Is Not Absolutely Impossible, Every Child May Reasonably Be Expected To Aspire After, On The Principle, That Whatever Man Has Done, Man May Do.
