“But we are learning from the teaching and example of Jesus that life itself is a religion, that nothing is more sacred than a human being, that the end of all right institutions, whether the home or the church or an educational establishment, or a government, is the development of the human soul.” HumansSoulEndsHomeGovernmentJesusChurchHuman BeingsTeachingExampleDevelopmentInstitutionsSacredEducationalEstablishmentHuman Soul Book:The Speeches of Anna Howard Shaw Source: The Speeches of Anna Howard Shaw
“... work is only part of a man's life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.” MenWellsMeanLongPlayTodaySpiritualOpportunityIndividualNationsChurchWorkMoralGroupsHe ManDevelopmentExerciseMen And WomenIntelligentWorkersEducationalContactCitizenshipSpiritual DevelopmentPhysical HealthWell RoundedSpiritual Health Author:Mary Barnett Gilson
“Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the United Kingdom are among the least religious societies on earth. According to the United Nations' Human Development Report (2005), they are also the healthiest, as indicated by life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate, and infant mortality. . . . Conversely, the fifty nations now ranked lowest in terms of the United Nations' human development index are unwaveringly religious.” HumansEarthReligionNationsTermReligiousUnitedDevelopmentAdultsRateEducationalGenderIncomeKingdomsFiftyReportsCanadaJapanAustraliaMortalityLowestLiteracyUnited NationsInfantAttainmentGender EqualityHuman DevelopmentSwedenBelgiumSwitzerlandUnited KingdomHomicideDenmarkExpectancyNorwayIcelandNetherlandsLife ExpectancyInfant Mortality Book:Letter to a Christian Nation Source: Letter to a Christian Nation

“In the olden times, the diversity of groups was largely a geographical matter. There were many societies, but each, within its own territory, was comparatively homogeneous. But with the development of commerce, transportation, intercommunication, and emigration, countries like the United States are composed of a combination of different groups with different traditional customs. It is this situation which has, perhaps more than any other one cause, forced the demand for an educational institution which shall provide something like a homogeneous and balanced environment for the young.” DifferentCountryMatterStatesYoungCausesUnitedSituationUnited StatesEnvironmentGroupsDevelopmentDemandDiversityInstitutionsEducationalTraditionalCombinationCustomsTerritoryBalancedCommerceTransportationEmigrationHomogeneousEducational InstitutionsOlden Times Author:John Dewey
“The higher education has always appealed to the South Asian social leaders across all the countries in South Asia. But primary education has been neglected.
