Quote★★★★
Perhaps the most famous definition of education was given by President James A. Garfield who sagely remarked, “Give me a log hut with only a simple bench, Mark Hopkins on one end and I on the other and you may have all the apparatus and libraries without him.” This statement has been abbreviated: “Education is a log with a student on the one end and Mark Hopkins on the other.” Perhaps the shortest definition of education is “Depth plus breadth equals education.”
The point
True education is defined by the personal relationship between a student and a great teacher.
