To educate is to lead externally (e=external, out; duct=to lead).

Education is sifted into the mindsof students while nothing is done to process "the what" that is receiving and processing this information.

Therefore,nourishment of "the brain" is neglected altogether.

The 90% (subconscious/spirit) is ignored; while the 10% (conscious/self) is over flooded. This is where the statement "you only use 10% of your brain cells" comes into reality. Therefore, when you extractfrom "the within" the 10% of the 90/10 equationrises tremendously. This is yet another example of GOD's powerand mind working insideyou....

In the United States, we have the worst educational systems in the
world. They used to be okay, but compared to the Education that
Europeans get, we are not even getting close.

In Early America, the colonists had college level educations by the
time we would be heading into High School.



Why do you think that is?


How could it be, that the Founding Fathers were in their Twenties
and early thirties, when they Drafted the Declaration of
Independence, on their own?



Could anyone in this country do that today?



I seriously doubt it. One must have a basic and fundamental
understanding of "Government", & "Economics" on a world-wide level
to be able to Draft such a document. Do you think anyone in the U.S
today would be capable? I doubt it!!!

I first started to learn about the differences of American education
with European education when I read Antony Sutton's book "America's
Secret Establishment - An Introduction to the Order of Skull &
Bones". This book has always been one of my favorites, since it is
so revealing, and was not put out by the "Establishment". Sutton reveals to the reader, what is known as the "Look-Say" reading method, wherein, a student is taught to associate a "picture" with a "word". This would mean that a teacher would show a student a picture of a "Dog" and then tell him/her that--that is a "Dog". Good enough??

Maybe, if you are trying to teach "Deaf and Dumb" people. You see, that is what "Look-Say" was originally developed for. It was to teach "Deaf and Dumb" people how to read and write. It was not developed for "Normal" people.

"Normal" people throughout Europe were educated by learning
the "Root-Meaning" of the "Word." So if a teacher was showing you a
picture of a "dog", you would also learn where the meaning of the
word "Dog" comes from. Where the word "Canine" comes from. And
that "word" comes from another word and so on.

(From Secret Establishment Pg.71-72)

Look-Say reading methods were developed around 1810 for Deaf Mutes by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. Thomas H Gallaudet was the eldest son of Peter Wallace Gallaudet, a descendant from a French Huguenot family, and Jane Hopkins. Jane Hopkins traced her ancestry back to John Hopkins and the Reverend Thomas Hooker in the Seventeenth century, who broke away from the congregational church to help found Hartford Connecticut. This parallels the story of the Lord family.

The Lords also traced their ancestry back to Hopkins and Hooker and
the Lords founded Hartford Connecticut. And it was in Hartford,
Connecticut in 1835 that a printer named Lord produced Thomas
Gallaudet's first Look-Say Primer, "Mother's Primer".

Gallaudet's original intention was to use the Look-say method only
for Deaf Mutes who have no concept of a spoken language and are
therefore unaware of phonetic sounds for letters. For this purpose,
Gallaudet founded the "Hartford School for the Deaf" in 1817. The
Gallaudet system works well for [Deaf Mutes], but there is no
obvious reason to use it for those who have the ability to hear
sounds.

Anyway, in 1835 Mother's Primer was published and the Massachusetts
Primary school Committee under Horace Mann immediately adopted the book on an experimental basis. Later we shall find that Horace Mann ties directly to the Order - in fact, the Co-founder of the Order.
On pages 73 and 74 we reproduce two pages from the second edition of 1836, with the following directions to the teacher:

"...pointing to the whole word Frank, but not to the letters.
Nothing is yet to be said about letters..."

Why did Horace Mann push a method designed for deaf mutes onto a
school system populated with persons who were not deaf mutes?

There are two possible reasons. The reader can take his or her pick.
First, in 1853 Mann was appointed President of Antioch College. The
most influential Trustee of Antioch College was the Co-founder of
the Order (Skull & Bones) - Alphonso Taft.

Second, Mann never had a proper education and consequently was
unable to judge a good method from a bad method for reading.

By 1840, there was a backlash, and the Look-say system was dropped
in Massachusetts. But, toward the end of the 19th century The Order
came on the scene - and the Look-say method was revived. The
youngest son of Thomas Hopkins and Sophia Galludet was Edward Minor Gallaudet. Two of his sons went to Yale and became members of the Order:

1. Edson Fessenden Gallaudet (1893 Initiated), who became an
instructor of Physics at Yale, and

2. Herbert Draper Gallaudet (1898 Initiated), who attended Union
Theological Seminary and became a clergyman.

Then the method was adopted by Columbia Teachers College and the
Lincoln School. The thrust of the new Dewey-inspired system of
education was away from learning and towards preparing a child to be
a unit in the organic society. Look-say was ideal for "Deweyists". It
skipped one step in the learning process. It looked "easy", and de-
emphasized learning skills.

The educational establishment rationalized look-say by claiming that
up to the turn of the century reading was taught by "synthetic"
methods, i.e. children were taught letters and an associated sound
value. Then they learned to join syllables to make words. This was
held to be uninteresting and artificial. Educational research, it
was claimed, demonstrated that in reading words are not analyzed
into component letter parts, but seen as complete units. Therefore,
learning to read should start with complete units.

Well, there is a lot more to this than just the transference of the
look-say method onto our current reading and learning structure.
There is also the Experiential Psychology brought over from Germany,
under Hegelian Principles..
