Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Illiteracy and Its Social, Political and Industrial Effects: An Address Delivered by Invitation Before the Union League Club of New York City Gentlemen: When you honored me with an invitation to address you, the following topic was suggested: "Illiteracy as shown by the Census of 1880: its effects, Industrial, Social, and Political, upon the Country; the Nation the only patron of education equal to the present emergency." Since the days of struggle over the formation of the Constitution, when George Mason, the largest slaveholder in Virginia, neighbor and worthy compatriot of George Washington, so strongly urged emancipation, there have never failed to be those who believed that African slavery was a peril to our institutions. They sought for peaceful remedies, and when the great and terrible war burst upon the land their consciences did not forsake them; they stood by the country and saved the Union. This organization, by whose kind invitation I am here to speak this evening, had its origin in the support of that cause, and fitly cherishes its endeavors in that behalf as among its most imperishable honors. It is not inappropriate as representatives of the great and far-seeing property interests of this metropolis that you, in the spirit of George Mason, should weigh the evils threatened by illiteracy and seek for their removal.
