Excerpt from Suggestion in Education A suggestive teacher, a suggestive book, a suggestive picture, a suggestive situation - these are the terms in which we speak of the people, the books, the pictures, and the Situations that have made a deep impression on us, that have set going a train of thought which refuses to be quieted until it has worked itself out to a satisfactory conclusion, and which gives us no rest until we have altered our aims, our circumstances, and even our Characters, so that the idea suggested may the more easily become realised. These are the teachers and the books that count. Other teachers are hired like waiters and perform their duties like hirelings, other books are bought and sold like pounds of tea and serve to foster the modern habit of idly looking at print. But the real teacher and the real book! We come across them but seldom, we treasure them, if we have any insight, while occasion permits, and we part from them reluctantly, not knowing when we may find them again. For the same person and even the same book may not always be suggestive. The subtle quality is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
