Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one's hand.

History
Ellwood Cubberley (1868-1941)
 Applying industrial management theory to school leadership was the idea of Ellwood Cubberley, giving rise to modern school administration. Cubberley was born in Andrews, Indiana, and was educated at the University of Indiana and Columbia University.
After brief stints as a classroom teacher, college instructor and president of Vincennes University, Cubberley became superintendent of schools in San Diego-a position that influenced his long career as professor and dean of the School of Education at Stanford University. Relying on new industrial management theory, Cubberley designed an administrative system for schools, led by a professional class of superintendents and principals.
