“That aptitude for teaching which God has bestowed upon a woman may perish through want of exercise; it may be called forth by exercise. It may be turned into vanity and display; it may be redeemed to the highest and yet the lowliest uses. It may be overlaid with mere formal instruction; it may be quickened and directed by honest practical education. It may be regarded as a special gift which exalts individuals of the sex; it may be cultivated as a common gift of which all have some measure, and of which no one is to boast. It may be left to the accidents and impulses of the world; it may be carefully watched over and cherished as something exceedingly precious, which neither its possessors nor society can afford to waste.”

F. D. MAURICE

“He is the best teacher of others who is best taught himself; that which we know and love we cannot but communicate.”

Dr ARNOLD

“In life, as in art, and as in mechanics, the only profitable teaching is the teaching by example.”
