Excerpt from Occasional Addresses on Educational Subjects
Education is a big word as well as a great word. It is a truism to say that it comprehends every influence that goes to the formation of a mind. No man can give an account of it. A genuine autobiography is an attempt to do so. But in this even a Goethe or a Ruskin will fail. These men, like all others, owed as much to those subtle influences which pass unnoticed as to the more self-conscious experiences which it is easy to record and estimate. We who have to do with education professionally are apt to forget this, and to exaggerate the influence of the school.
