Famous quotes containing the words outdoor and/or education:
“Close to the academy in this town they have erected a sort of gallows for the pupils to practice on. I thought that they might as well hang at once all who need to go through such exercises in so new a country, where there is nothing to hinder their living an outdoor life.

—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
