For High School
From the age of fourteen or fifteen to about seventeen, the first flowering and fruition of thought arise from the careful nurturing and guidance of the previous period. What was subconsciously grasped as picture consciousness, through the faculty of respect, now miraculously metamorphoses, through sexual maturity and the birth of the individual spirit, into freedom of creative expression and self-motivated curiosity about the secrets of the world. The teacher has now more a specialist role, from subject to subject, to encourage and inspire this awakening. From this period onwards evolves the quest for universal wisdom.
The overriding theme of Nature and human kind is unaltered but the pupils emerge increasingly as free-thinking, discerning and responsible individuals in relationship to the Universe, of which Earth and its history is the focus.
