Learning To Read

It is not enough to simply teach children to read;
we have to give them something worth reading.
Something that will stretch their imaginations—
something that will help them make sense of their own lives
and encourage them to reach out toward people
whose lives are quite different from their own.
—Katherine Patterson

The hills are a great book, wherein God has written,

in the language of mountain and tree, and sky, and flower, and brook,

the things that make wise those who pause to read.

–Harold Bell Wright

The Real Safeguard Of Democracy

Democracy cannot succeed unless those

who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely.

The real safeguard of democracy, therefore is education.
