O knihe
Our school is named after Henry David Thoreau. The property on which
the school is located is Camp Thoreau, a children's summer camp. It is
also our year round home. What is more, the property is an old family
farm which we try to keep in production.
Henry David Thoreau taught school himself for a few years. I would like
to think that he might have approved of some of the things that we have
done here, although I know he would disapprove of the folly of owning
a property of this size. Thoreau believed that owning a farm is a type of
slavery.
Thoreau left behind some
good advice for writers of
books:
"The writer," he said "does not make books
out of books,
but he has been
there in person."
Hence this record of the four years in which I directed the Thoreau School.
