“But they can only highly serve us, when they aim not to drill, but to create; when they gather from far every ray of various genius to their hospitable halls, and, by the concentrated fires, set the hearts of their youth on flame.” - Emerson discussing college
Words:
They= teachers, professors, college education
Create= come up with their own ideas, perform, give freedom
Gather= collect, receive, take
Every ray of various genius= different interpretations, variety of lessons, from all over
hearts of their youth on flame= make the children interested and excited
- Teachers can only provide a good education when they give freedom to the lesson. When they except different varieties of education they make their students interested in what they have to learn.
- College education is only helpful when we can take information from others and be able to form our own ideas from that.
- In order for children to stay interested they must be able to come up with conclusions on their own.
