“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon.

“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills.

It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
