INTRODUCTION
I want to talk about learning. But not the lifeless, sterile, futile, quickly forgotten stuff that iscrammed in to the mind of the poor helpless individual tied into his seat by ironclad bonds of conformity! I am talking about LEARNING - the insatiable curiosity that drives the adolescent boy to absorb everything he can see or hear or read about gasoline engines in order to improvethe efficiency and speed of his 'cruiser'. I am talking about the student who says, "I amdiscovering, drawing in from the outside, and making that which is drawn in a real part of me." I am talking about any learning in which the experience of the learner progresses along this line:"No, no, that's not what I want"; "Wait! This is closer to what I am interested in, what I need";"Ah, here it is! Now I'm grasping and comprehending what I need and what I want to know!"
