Excerpt from Rational Education: The Keynote of the Rational School, Education That Libeates, Not Enslaves
Nature has wisely provided but one single means whereby man may grow, attain, evolve, progress - and that is thru labor. Activity, endeavor, exercise is the basic law of human unfoldment. Work with body and mind. With hand and brain. Exercise of all the faculties of mind, of soul, of spirit; of all the muscles of the body. There is no other way.
Man comes into this life a mere bundle of latent possibilities. When he has been delivered from the maternal matrix and when thru his first breath he has made his own contact with this sense world, nature had done all that she can do for him. Here he is left to himself. His life is his own. Henceforth all progress, all expansion, all development, must come thru his own exertions. Man is master of his own destiny.
