—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.”

“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction.
