“Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb. Brooks to wade, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.” ShouldChildrenHas BeensWaterAnimalTreeChildhoodRocksShould HaveVariousPetSandClimbsButterflyBeesPieBatsMudSnakesBugsDeprivedFrogsLiliesBrooksTurtlesStrawberriesWadeAcornsConesChestnutsGrasshoppersHuckleberryHornetsTadpolesWater LilyMud PiesWild StrawberriesWoodchucks Book:The Training Of The Human Plant Source: The Training Of The Human Plant
