It should encourage those who have only themselves and God to look to for support, to remember that self-education is the best education, and that some of the greatest men have had few or no school advantages. Daily experience shows that it is energetic individualism which produces the most powerful effects upon the life and action of others, and really constitutes the best practical education.
Those whose lives we have hitherto examined did so raise themselves by their own strenuous energy and self-education.
This is a true process of self-education; but you see it is no mechanical process of mere aggregation. It requires activity of thought but without that what is any reading but mere passive amusement? And it requires method. I have myself a sort of literary bookkeeping.
An affection, however misplaced and ill-requited, if honestly conceived and deeply felt, rarely fails to advance the self-education of man. Frank became steady and serious; and, on a visit to Hazeldean, met at a county ball Miss Sticktorights, and the two young persons were instantly attracted towards each other, perhaps by the very feud that had so long existed between their houses.
No person was too high for Edward's boyish approach; President Garfield, General Grant, General Sherman, President Hayes all were called upon, and all received the boy graciously and were interested in the problem of his self-education.

She was eager for knowledge, and through all her busy weeks had paid 10 cents dues to a self-education society. Nevertheless, her long dull season was a harassing burden and disappointment both for herself and her sister's struggling family. Betty Lukin, a shirt-waist maker of twenty, had been making sleeves for two years.
It was while working at Westerkirk manse that he sketched the first draft of his descriptive poem entitled 'Eskdale, which was published in the 'Poetical Museum' in 1784.* These early poetical efforts were at least useful in stimulating his self-education.
The tympanum panel of the central doorway may be taken to represent kindergarten teaching, instruction of boys and girls, and self-education in young manhood. It is by Gustave Gerlach. The two panels in the walls over the minor doorways treat very obviously of educational subjects. They are flat in more senses than one, lacking the life of the central tympanum group.
The work of both husband and wife suffered from the inevitable defects of self-education, and also from the narrowness and seclusion of their early lives. Mary possessed more imagination and a lighter touch than her husband, but her attempts at adult fiction were hampered by her ignorance of the world, while her technique, both in prose and verse, left something to be desired.
