“Cultivate your garden Do not depend upon teachers to educate you follow your own bent, pursue your curiosity bravely, express yourself, make your own harmony In the end, education, like happiness, is individual, and must come to us from life and from ourselves. There is no way; each pilgrim must make his own path.

At home, too, they are in their mothers care. She can keep them from learning immoral things from other children.” IfsNeedsBelieveWellsChildrenDifferentHomeWould BeCareMotherIndividualGivenI BelieveStudyTeacherTrainingImmoralPupilsMother And ChildMother Care Book:Laura Ingalls Wilder, farm journalist: writings from the Ozarks Source: Laura Ingalls Wilder, farm journalist: writings from the Ozarks
