Famous quotes containing the words hampshire and/or education:

“The New Hampshire girls who came to Lowell were descendants of the sturdy backwoodsmen who settled that State scarcely a hundred years before.... They were earnest and capable; ready to undertake anything that was worth doing. My dreamy, indolent nature was shamed into activity among them. They gave me a larger, firmer ideal of womanhood.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.”
