“I'm certainly an imperfect man. And it's only by the blood of Jesus Christ that I've been redeemed from my sins.

Girls are shielded and sometimes helped so much that they lose initiative and begin to believe the signs 'Girls don't' and 'Girls can't' which mark their paths... Consequently, it seems almost necessary to evolve different methods of instruction for them when they later take up the same subjects.”
