Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Need of a Higher Standard of Education in the United States: An Address Delivered Before the Philokalian and Philomathean Societies of St. John´s College Gentlemen of the Philokalian and Philomathean Societies of St. John´s College: It gave me great pleasure to accept the honor you conferred upon me in inviting me to address you on this interesting anniversary, although the time allowed for preparation was so short as to make me feel apprehensive that I should not be able to do justice either to the occasion or myself. But in accepting the invitation, I did what I certainly should not advise you to adopt as a genera rule of conduct - that is, I took counsel of my feelings rather than of my judgment. I say of my feelings, because education has always been to me a subject of deep interest; and it is no exaggeration to assert that to-day the cause of liberal education in Maryland is closely identified with the cause of St. John´s College. Now what is education? The etymology of the word explains its meaning. In its largest sense it means the drawing out, or rather it indicates the more gentle process of leading out or developing all the faculties - intellectual, moral and physical - of the human being.
