To my mind the boy who gives least promise is one in whom the critical faculty develops in advance of the imagination.

Men, even when alone, lighten their labors by song, however rude it may be.

The gifts of nature are infinite in their variety, and mind differs from mind almost as much as body from body.

It is worth while too to warn the teacher that undue severity in correcting faults is liable at times to discourage a boy's mind from effort.
