Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty--how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. (Aiken Howard)
Education is not a discipline at all. Half vocational, half an emptiness dressed up in garments borrowed from philosophy, psychology, literature. (Aiken Howard)

It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being.
