Our teachers are not good enough.

They may be very able men and women, but few of them are very able teachers.

The first need in a teacher is to inspire in his students a love of knowledge, a hunger and thirst after wisdom.

But, look at our schools, look at our great cities, look at the pleasures and recreations which satisfy the vast masses of the population! As a nation, we have no enthusiasm for education.

This is because we have so little understanding of the nature and province of education.
