Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the Year Ending June 4, 1900 Gentlemen: In the closing year of the century one naturally surveys the ground which has been won for the cause of popular education. Although the transition from one century to the next may not be more important or more significant than the transition from one year to another, yet the nineteenth century has done more to spread the light of science and to make ignorance impossible than all the preceding centuries combined; hence it is natural and proper to glance at the progress which has been made towards realizing the ideal of universal education. At the dawn of this century there was no State system of schools anywhere designed to bring all the children to school. At its close every civilized nation is trying to banish illiteracy by free schools for all the children, supplemented in very many countries by laws making attendance at school compulsory. The child´s right to know is as clearly recognized as its right to live and grow. In Pennsylvania the fight for schools supported by taxation was made during the third decade. In that decade a Governor and many members of the legislature failed to be re-elected because they were in favor of free schools. To-day no man could be elected if he declared himself hostile to our system of public instruction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
