Brownwood * Sweetwater * Abilene * Breckenridge "I believe that
the teacher's place and work in the school is to be interpreted
from this same basis. The teacher is not in the school to impose
certain ideas or to form certain habits in the child, but is there
as a member of the community to select the influences which shall
affect the child and to assist him in properly responding to these
influences." -John Dewey
