Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Second Annual Catalogue of the Girls Industrial School of Alabama, 1898: A Polytechnic Institute When the shadow of death was drawing over the great Goethe, he uttered his last wish for "more light." We must echo his cry if we would prepare our American system of education for a more glorious destiny. We treat our children too much as the unskilled gardener treats his plants. He puts them by a window and pours over them a flood of light and life-giving rays. Instinctively they turn out towards the source of their strength. They put forth their leaves and budding promises, and as we look at them from the outside we mark their flourishing aspect and rejoice. But if we look at the other side we shall find them neglected, deficient, and deformed. What they want is more light - light on the other side. Were the sun always in the east, our trees would all grow like those on the edge of the forest - one-sided. So in education we must open new windows, or rather we must level with the ground all artificial barriers and let every luminous characteristic of modern life shine in upon our school rooms. We must pay less heed to what the world was two or three hundred years ago, and regard with greater respect what the world is today. You know how often life is a failure from defective education. Too often do we see young people who might have been educated to eminent usefulness, cast "Unfinished into this breathing world, scarce half made up."
