Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education, and Not Legislation, Our Country´s Need: A Thanksgiving Discourse Text: "Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people." - Isaiah lv, 4. "Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present worlds." - Titus ii, 12. Emerson, with philosophic precision of language, and with almost prophetic ken, clearly intimates both our national disease and remedy in the following terse and vigorous paragraph: "We shall one day learn to supersede politics by education. What we call our root-and-branch reforms of slavery, war, gambling, intemperance, is only medicating the symptoms. We must begin higher up; namely, in education." And what is here so forcibly suggested was never more important to the American people than at this very hour. I am no alarmist, and yet I think I see dangers ahead which, if not guarded against, may prove fatal to our experiment of democratic government. Nations, like individuals, learn from experience, but it often happens that experience is a very dear teacher.
