I was busy with a birthday cake today, and only read a few pages of School Education. But with Charlotte Mason, you don’t have to read very far before you find something worth noting. 🙂
Authority is alert; she knows all that is going on and is aware of tendencies. She fulfils the apostolic precept – “He that ruleth (let him do it), with diligence.” But she is strong enough to fulfil that other precept also, “He that showeth mercy (let him do it), with cheerfulness”; timely clemency, timely yielding, is a great secret of strong government.
Also read this week:
- Hubby: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
- Me: started Give Your Child the World by Jamie C. Martin – hoping to join in the book club
- Miss A: The High House by James Stoddard (she shared a quote on her newish blog today 🙂 )
- Mr. D: he learned about the steamboat in The Story of Inventions today
- Mr. E: Yukon Ho! by Bill Watterson
- Little L: Zero and One by Kathryn Otoshi (we have a two-in-one edition)
- Little R: Veronica’s Smile by Roger Duvoisin (one of my childhood favorites)
