Forty-Eight

The child learns more of the virtues needed in modern life – of fairness, of justice, of comradeship, of collective interest and action - in a common school than can be taught in the most perfect family circle. – Charlotte Perkins Gilman

We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique. – Benjamin Jowett
