It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“The study of tools as well as of books should have a place in the public schools. Tools, machinery, and the implements of the farm should be made familiar to every boy, and suitable industrial education should be furnished for every girl.”
