“In our school, the teacher...is not a machine which follows a certain syllabus, which has certain lessons to recite to the child, and to make him recite them back. She is a sensitive human being who works with her intellect, and loves her work. She has faith in human nature and the child. She is calm and sure of herself, but not timid. She is not frightened or nervous or in doubt. She is armed with love and understanding.”
