62. On the education of teachers

"For when she was hardly more than a girl, Miss Minnie had gone away to teacher's college and prepared herself to teach by learning many cunning methods that she never afterward used.  For Miss Minnie loved children and she loved books, and she taught merely by introducing the one to the other."

-Wendell Berry, "A Consent"
