Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Compulsory Education and the Southern States Even in a cursory examination of the subject it will be necessary to sketch the experiences of European countries and American States. Statistics will necessarily occupy a prominent place in such a sketch, as these are essential to an intelligent understanding of this important educational question. These may appear prolix, yet they are the meat of the subject. First, as to European countries: The Germans were the earliest to institute a system of general education, and the wonderful progress of Germany in every respect is now largely attributed to the thoroughness of national education. Especially in the last twenty years has the aspect of the nation been greatly changed. Some attribute this to the large number of special technical schools, which are also undoubtedly potent factors, but some more organic reason in the national life must be discovered. The English consul, Mr. Powell, in an interesting report on these conditions, says that this (commercial and industrial) success is due less to superior commercial education than to the high state of general education that Germany has enjoyed for many years, which was formerly lacking, and is even now lacking in several essential points in Great Britain. The fact that in Germany elementary education has been generally compulsory and, to a large extent, also gratuitous, for more than one hundred and fifty years, is recognized to be an essential element in recent political, industrial and commercial successes of the nation. Nothing short of a general uplifting of the mass of the people will raise a nation to a higher level in all respects.
