Happy 100th B-day, Jacques Barzun! (Educator and historian)

Quite a few celebrations of him!

And finally:

"Let me say at once that all books are good & that consequently a
child should be allowed to read everything he lays his hands on.
Trash is excellent...." (_Teacher in America_, p. 60)

He goes on to say that so long as a love of reading is in place, the
sifting out of trash will come in all good time.
