Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the Year Ending June 2, 1884 Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit, in compliance with the requirements of law, the annual report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the year ending June 2, A. D. 1884, together with the annual report for the year ending June 4, A. D. 1883, which, although the Legislature was not in session, was made, placed in the hands of the Governor of the Commonwealth, and printed. No worthier object can engage the attention of a State than the proper education of the children thereof. Even in governments where the arts of war formed the main study of the governing, and the chief practice of the governed class, the worth of learning, of an advanced character at least, was reverently recognized. Cæsar pardoned Varro because he was the most learned of his age, and made him librarian at Rome; and the warrior Karl, when the Frankish judges had condemned Warnefried, the Lombard scholar, to lose his eyes and hands, saved him, saying: "We shall not easily find another hand that can write history." But where, as now, the arts of peace come into special prominence, and where the very purpose of legislation is the highest welfare of the people, no State can neglect the general educational discipline of the young, without setting aside the foundation itself upon which its claim to legislate at all is based. Of course, much elementary training is carried forward by the family, where father and mother are the divinely ordained guides and guardians of their offspring; and that Commonwealth would be weak indeed, the cultured purity of whose home-life forms not its chief pillar of support. But the relation between home and the so-called common school is most intimate. The children go from one to the other and return day after day through years. The opening of school creates a kind of festival stir in every household, and, as the term goes on, the communion becomes so close that the new companionships and disciplinary restraints and study-tasks of the school-room move into the loving converse and freedom of the family-life as a part of its experience, each adding effect to the other, as bird-songs float into the mornings dewy calm, and become part of the rising day.
