Postgraduate Theological and Catechetical Studies for Teachers

The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards; and curiosity itself can be vivid and wholesome only in proportion as the mind is contented and happy.

Men must be taught as if you taught them not,
And things unknown propos'd as things forgot.

Whoe'er excels in what we prize,
Appears a hero in our eyes;
Each girl, when pleased with what is taught,
Will have the teacher in her thought.

A blockhead with melodious voice,
In boarding-schools may have his choice.
