• "We would reduce the purely mechanical work of the memory to an absolute minimum and devote the time to the development of the inner senses, faculties and latent capacities."

• "A proper and sane education should produce the most vigorous and liberal mind, strictly trained in logical and accurate thought, and not in blind faith."

• "Children should above all be taught self-reliance, love for all men, altruism, mutual charity, and more than anything else, to think and reason for themselves."

• "We would endeavor to deal with each child as a unit, and to educate it so as to produce the most harmonious and equal unfoldment of its powers."

• "We should aim at creating free men and women, unprejudiced in all respects, and above all unselfish."
