Science


They must be let alone, left to themselves a great deal, to take in what they can of the beauty of earth and heavens.
(Vol 1, II, Out-Of-Door Life For The Children, p.44 )

Charlotte believed that science was learned best by being in nature and observing it and reading great living books. What are living books you might ask? My own description of a living books is....

"Classics. Great living books, books that make you wish you were there."
