"Unfolded is the world only to the observing mind." — Feuerbach. 



" Original research in hand to hand contact with Nature ought to be 

 made the breath of life in an educational system." — C. F. Hodge. 



Observe accurately, reason logically, judge impartially, express 

 truthfully, enjoy heartily. 



"When Nature becomes the subject of study, the love of Nature 

 its stimulus, and the order of Nature its guide, then will results 

 in educational science rival the achievements of science in any 

 other field." 



The true naturalist is the true poet. 



" Nay what is Nature's 

 Self, but an endless 

 Strife toward music, 



Euphony, rhyme? 

 Trees in their blooming, 

 Tides in their flowing, 

 Stars in their circling, 



Tremble with song." —William Watson 



" The way to see a thing is to Jove it, and love sharpens the eye." — 

 Burroughs. 



"The teacher must never forget this cardinal fact that observation, 

 accurate and sympathetic, true-eyed and true-hearted, is the mother 

 alike of literature and of science." — C. Lloyd Morgan in Psychology for 

 Teachers. 



"Nature is the incarnation of thought, and turns to thought again 

 as ice becomes water and gas. The world is mind precipitated, 

 and the volatile essence is forever escaping again into the state of 

 thought. " — Emerson. 



" Happy is he who has learned to search out the secret of things, 

 . . . The ageless order he sees of nature that cannot die, 

 And the Cause whence it springs and the How and the Why. 

 Never have thoughts like these to a deed of dishonor been turned." 



— Euripides.
