Excerpt from Normal Offering, 1928, Vol. 30 Yet a school - any school - is more than a simple structure. Buildings are shells to guard and hold whatever within may be precious. The walls of the Training School shelter knowledge, purpose, ideals - the knowledge that is handed on to children, the purpose of students who will one day be teachers, the ideals of those who are Strengthening both knowledge and purpose by teaching children and students. The prose of day after day in school may seem a dull place in which to seek poetry. You who believe this have forgotten how to dream yourselves awake. Can you stand before children and watch their ideas come to life under your slight power, without an atom of the feeling that artists know? Or do you close your; ears to the rhythm of creation and hear only restlessness? The Training School gives to some of us this broader vision of teaching, through the understanding of those who are our guides. We should be lost in self-consciousness and the fear of skepticism if we talked about if often. To live it - that may be the way of appreciation.
