Excerpt from The History and Science of Education: For Institutes, Normal Schools, Reading Circles and the Private Self-Instruction of Teachers
Let no one suppose that the higher departments of the teacher's profession are attained without some effort, or that honorable distinction is the result of Chance. There is no royal road to preferment here, any more than in other departments of professional life. Here, as elsewhere, The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, While their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.
