Famous quotes containing the words reproduction and/or development:

    Joanna Cole (20th century)

    Good schools are schools for the development of the whole child. They seek to help children develop to their maximum their social powers and their intellectual powers, their emotional capacities, their physical powers.
    James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
