奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

Self-reliance and grit are oftenest country-bred. The country boy is constantly thrown upon his own resources; he is forced to think for himself, and this calls out his ingenuity and makes him self-reliant and strong. It has been found that the use of tools in our manual training schools develops the brain, strengthens the deficient faculties and brings out latent powers. The farm-reared boy is in the best manual training school in the world and is constantly forced to plan things, make things; he is always using tools. This is one of the reasons why he usually develops better all-round judgment and a more level head than the city boy.

白话

自立和毅力多半是乡村培养出来的。乡下男孩常常只能靠自己,被迫独立思考,这激发了他的创造力,使他自立而坚强。人们发现,手工训练学校使用工具能开发大脑、增强薄弱能力、激发潜在力量。农场长大的男孩身处世界上最好的手工训练学校,不断被迫规划事情、制作东西,总是在使用工具。这就是为什么他通常比城市男孩发展出更好的综合判断力和更冷静的头脑。

上下文

马登在《奋力向前》中把农场比作最好的手工训练学校,强调动手实践对心智发展的作用。
