On theory v. practice................................













How strange it seems that education, in practice, so often means suppression: that instead of leading the mind outward to the light of day it crowds things in upon it that darken and weary it. Yet evidently the true object of education, now as ever, is to develop the capabilities of the head and of the heart.

Ed. Note:  Late in his career, Sullivan (1856-1924) designed a series of "jewel box" banks, all located in obscure Midwest towns, like Newark, Ohio.  If you ever visit our fair city, do not miss the opportunity to tour this gem.
