Quote of the Day

"As far as possible, men are to be taught to become wise not by books, but by the Heavens, the Earth, oaks and beeches; that is, they must learn to know and examine the things themselves, and not the observations and testimony of others about the things"
Comenius (Born 1592)

Quoted in Howes (1921) - 'The Geographical Teacher'
