布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
Miss Davidson and I began consulting as to the future of the school from the first. The students were making progress in learning books and in developing their minds; but it became apparent at once that, if we were to make any permanent impression upon those who had come to us for training we must do something besides teach them mere books. The students had come from homes where they had had no opportunities for lessons which would teach them how to care for their bodies. With few exceptions, the homes in Tuskegee in which the students boarded were but little improvement upon those from which they had come. We wanted to teach the students how to bathe; how to care for their teeth and clothing. We wanted to teach them what to eat, and how to eat it properly, and how to care for their rooms. Aside from this, we wanted to give them such a practical knowledge of some one industry, together with the spirit of industry, thrift, and economy, that they would be sure of knowing how to make a living after they had left us. We wanted to teach them to study actual things instead of mere books alone.

白话
戴维森小姐和我从一开始就商量学校的未来。学生们在书本学习和心智发展上有进步，但很快就明显看出，如果要对来受训的人产生持久影响，我们必须做点别的，不能只教书本。学生们来自没有机会学习如何照顾自己身体的家。塔斯基吉收留学生的家庭，除了少数例外，比他们原来的家好不了多少。我们想教学生如何洗澡、如何护理牙齿和衣物，想教他们吃什么、怎么吃才合适，以及如何整理房间。除此之外，我们还想让他们对某一行业有实用的知识，并培养勤勉、节俭和经济的精神，使他们离开后肯定知道如何谋生。我们想教他们研究实际事物，而不只是书本。
上下文
塔斯基吉学院强调“手脑并用”的职业教育，这段是华盛顿阐述其教育理念转变的关键段落。

你正在学的东西，有没有同时教你如何照顾好自己的生活？
