Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Is the State´s Duty to Its Unfortunate Children? This gigantic problem looms up ominously before us. The American mind is active and full of resources. Our educators tell us of a new education, and of the laboratory plan of teaching history and the natural sciences, but crime stalks onward with giant strides; new religions are launched upon us, the Salvation Army invades the slums, but crimes and criminals still increase in a far greater ratio than the increase of population. Temperance movements, moral revolutions and nineteenth century Savanarolas all seem impotent to stay in the least the mighty tide of crime that is sweeping forward with unrelenting certainty over this great republic. Whether we look toward the poor Indian who falls dead while playing poker in a Los Angeles jail, or toward the Yale or Princeton student, who is seen in bacchanalian orgies that equal those of the noble debauchees of ancient Rome - in whatever direction we look the hideous form of crime is seen making its slimy trail. There is one thing apparent to all. and that is that the right remedy has not yet been efficiently applied. It is not through lack of use of money, because in California we are paying out annually for schools, prisons and asylums, over $12,500.000. There must then be something fundamentally wrong in our educational and penal systems. The public school system of the United States is the corner stone of this republic. Education! education! education! is the watchword of the hour. Without free and universal education hope vanishes. Then we reach this point - the theory is right, the application faulty.
