Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nineteenth Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of Montana: 1926 "Growth is the law of life. When we cease to grow, we It begin to die. It is a matter of progress or regress. We cannot move backward the hands of time. Retrenchment is wise when conditions permit, but it must be shown that we are on the wrong course before we turn backward. It must be shown that the ship cannot proceed to her goal before we begin to throw overboard the cargo. "True economy is always wise, but the negro who conceived the brilliant idea of saving his oats by feeding his mule on greater and greater quantities of sawdust found that when he had reached the point of maximum economy, that is, when he fed only on sawdust, the mule died. If he had been a more observing individual, if he had checked up on his experiment from time to time, he would have found as soon as he started the mixture that the mule began to lose his power to pull. Economy that limits the activities of the school to the Three R´s, that fails to recognize the individual differences of children, that neglects to provide healthful surroundings in which they may grow and work, that fails to recognize their mental and physical limitations as well as their points of power, that fails to provide equal educational opportunities for all the children trained at public expense, that refuses to recognize that it takes a longer time and more skill to perform a bigger and harder job, that allows educational energy and educational enthusiasm to work without competent direction, that permits any portion of our people to grow up in ignorance to be a menace to their fellows, is mixing sawdust with the oats, and the result must be disastrous. "Democracy must be founded upon universal education if it is to be permanent. Though ours is a representative form of government, more and more problems of greater and greater complexity are constantly being referred to the judgment of the people, and more and more influential is that judgment becoming in the councils of the Nation. "If all the children of all the people are to be educated, the cost of doing this work must be borne by all the people and by all their wealth, which in its final analysis is largely the product of education." - From an address by Dr. H. W. Holloway, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dover, Delaware. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
