A Charlotte Mason Moment:
“The child must not be allowed to get into the mood in which he says, ‘Oh, I am so tired ‘of sums’, or ‘of history’. His zeal must be stimulated; there must always be a pleasing vista before him; and steady, untiring application to work should be held up as honourable, [sic] while fitful, flagging attention and effort are scouted.”
