Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Literature in School: An Address and Two Essays When Thor, in the Scandinavian story, was trying conclusions with the giants, he was bidden lift a cat which stood before him. He stopped, grasped the cat, and tried to raise it from the ground. The higher he lifted, the more the cat stretched, still clinging with its claws to the earth. When, with gigantic effort, Thor stood erect, he had not yet disengaged the creature. "Wonder not," said Utgard Loke, "that you are not able to lift the cat. It was Jormundgarda herself, the great serpent that binds the world." The fable comes to my mind as I ponder the subject assigned to me at this meeting, - The Place of Literature in Common School Education. Literature, Common Schools, Education, - these are familiar words; yet when we trace their roots in the soil of human thought, we find them penetrating great depths and clutching at the very foundations of human order. We speak of Common Schools, and our minds run on to the principles of community which underlines our political ideals.
