Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from President Eliot on Public-School Problems: An Address Delivered Before the Michigan State Teachers Association, December, 1885, Repeated Before the Connecticut State Teachers Association, November, 1886 Mr. President and Teachers of Michigan: It gives me great pleasure to attend this annual meeting of the Michigan State Teachers´ Association; the call to contribute an address to its dicussions, I can count nothing but a mark of honor. My personal acquaintance with your State is limited, but I have long been familiar with the reputation of her common schools, her State University, and her teachers. Cultivated men all over the country know full well that there is much in her educational history that is instructive and inspiring. No chapter in the admirable volume which your distinguished jurist, Judge Cooley, has contributed to "The Commonwealth Series" is likely to be read with more interest and admiration than the one entitled, "The State provides for universal education." At least such has been my own experience. Allow me, therefore, Mr. President, to congratulate you and the Michigan teachers gathered in this annual convention, on the just fame that your State has won in the broad field of educational enterprise. When the call to this meeting reached me, I was watching the ripples in the educational journals caused by one of the boldest and frankest educational utterances that I have read for many a day, viz.: the short address made by President Eliot, of Harvard University, at the annual dinner of the Schoolmasters´ Club of Boston, at the end of October; and it occurred to me that I might render you a small service by making it the subject of my own discourse. President Eliot´s abilities, position, policy, and courage of his opinions always give importance to what he says on educational matters. Perhaps I have not made the happiest selection of a theme; but you will at least remember that in the commonwealth of American education we have no tribunal as a bench of judges, to pass authoritatively on questions; no digests of opinions or reports of cases that settle causes and prevent further argument.
