布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
His own teaching at Tuskegee is unique. He lectures to his advanced students on the art of right living, not out of text-books, but straight out of life. Then he sends them into the country to visit Negro families. Such a student will come back with a minute report of the way in which the family that he has seen lives, what their earnings are, what they do well and what they do ill; and he will explain how they might live better. He constructs a definite plan for the betterment of that particular family out of the resources that they have. Such a student, if he be bright, will profit more by an experience like this than he could profit by all the books on sociology and economics that ever were written. I talked with a boy at Tuskegee who had made such a study as this, and I could not keep from contrasting his knowledge and enthusiasm with what I heard in a class room at a Negro university in one of the Southern cities, which is conducted on the idea that a college course will save the soul. Here the class was reciting a lesson from an abstruse text-book on economics, reciting it by rote, with so obvious a failure to assimilate it that the waste of labour was pitiful.

白话
华盛顿在塔斯基吉学院的教学很独特。他给高年级学生讲“正确生活的艺术”，不用教科书，而是直接从生活出发。然后他派学生到乡下走访黑人家庭。学生回来后要详细报告那家人的生活状况、收入、做得好的和不好的地方，并说明如何能过得更好。学生要根据那家现有的资源制定具体改善计划。这样一次经历，比读遍所有社会学和经济学书籍收获还大。相比之下，南方某所黑人大学课堂上，学生死记硬背深奥的经济学课本，却明显没消化，白白浪费精力。这告诉我们：学习要联系实际，解决真实问题，而不是死读书。
