Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education for the Establishment of Democracy in the World To the distinguished gentlemen who represent here this evening France and Great Britain I bring the greetings of a country dedicated to democracy from the beginning of its national life, and of a people who for three hundred years have been coming to understand ever more clearly that democracy is impossible without universal education, and that the fostering of right education and the promotion of the means therefor constitute the highest function of statesmanship and the first duty of the representatives of a free people, I hope it may be my good fortune to have the opportunity of welcoming these gentlemen to the City of Washington and showing them something of the work of the Bureau of Education and of other agencies through which the Federal Government expresses its interest in education, agencies ail-too numerous, too little related, and too meagerly supported. It is fitting and well that representatives of the countries which before and through the great war have done most for the establishment of democracy in the world and for the preservation of freedom should meet here for the discussion of that education which alone can make democracy safe for the world and for itself, and without which there can be no freedom worthy of the name. Our victory over the forces of autocracy and militarism brings with it great moral responsibility, because on us "lies the task of saving and reconstructing all that is worth saving in civilization."
