Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oration Democracy and Education Your Honor and Fellow Citizens: The Irish people among many beautiful legends have this: That the great O'Donoghue, though he died and was buried far from his native land, was brought back by angels to home and fatherland, there to rest in an unfrequented glen nearby his dear Killarney awaiting the time when, his country demanding his splendid services, he shall arise from the grave and lead his embattled hosts once more to victory. Strange and fantastic though this legend appears, it is nevertheless true. Our great ones lead us from the grave. The spirit of the past abides with the present and controls the destinies of the future. And in these stirring post-bellum days of restoration and readjustment, the American people must not confound reconstruction with revolution. We must be loyal to the traditions of the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

In organization, the public school system follows the military and industrial plan With its various grades of super visory officials. In aim, there is lack of vision, and an imperfect understanding of purpose. Thehaphazard equipment of teachers is too glaring to need comment. Our educational system there fore must be characterized as unprogressive, antiquated, fundamentally undemocratic, and inadequate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Changing Order: A Study of Democracy Of popular control was, however, acknowledged and in Lincoln, the peasant president, the man of common fibre, unlettered in the European sense of culture, yet the ac credited prophet of the new social order, truly called by Lowell the First American, the advent of the people was fully justified. But to describe democratic polity in the sphere of government is no part of my motive. I have in mind the more subtle effects of democracy, its radiation in art, industry, education, and religion. Now one of the new ideas is the doctrine of labor as distinguished from the aristocratic doctrine of leisure. Blessed is he who has found his work spoke out Carlyle. But what is the nature of that work from which the ancient curse has been removed - work which is a tangible blessing in itself, a pleasure even as sleep and food? In truth a new industrialism is forming. Moreover a new sense of life itself is shaping among those whose perceptions are not obscured by power and luxury and a Maeterlinck is born to become the prophet of the humble There are about us, says Maeterlinck, in one of his recent essays, thous ands of poor creatures who have nothing of beauty in their lives; they come and go in obscurity, and we believe all is dead within them; and no one pays any heed. And then one day a simple word, an unexpected silence, a little tear that springs from the source of beauty itself, tells us they have found the means of raising aloft, in the shadow of their soul, an ideal a thousand times more beautiful than the most beautiful things their ears have ever heard or their eyes ever seen. 0, noble and pallid ideals of silence and shadow! It is you, above all, who soar direct to God! Where this thing is true, where the speech inclines to silence, where life is esoteric, of.

This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Administration of Education in a Democracy This book was projected with the idea that the time is here for such a preliminary treatment, as an organic whole, of the field of educational administration. In seeking for a unifying principle the inevitable choice fell to our national ideals as expressed in democracy as we Americans have conceived it. The aim has been to deal with principles, giving just enough space to history and description to furnish a suitable background and to account for sequences. In this way only did it seem possible to deal with the prob lems presented in such a constructively critical manner as the situation seemed to demand. The book makes its appeal (1) to teachers and stu dents of education, (2) to school boards and all school officials, and (3) to public men and legislators interested in a comprehensive survey of the problems of public education.

Download or read book Culture Discipline and Democracy Classic Reprint written by A. Duncan Yocum and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Culture, Discipline and Democracy IF I had been writing wholly from the standpoint of edu cational tradition, the title of this book would have been Democracy through Culture and Discipline. For the first step taken toward democratic education was to ensure in telligent citizenship by making the culture and discipline, which in the past had been reserved for privileged social classes, accessible to the whole people through a system of free schools. Writing as I have done, wholly as an investi gator who records In as logical order as he can the results of his Inquiry, a truer title for my work as it reaches its comple tion would be Culture and Discipline through Direct Prep aration for Democracy. For from the standpoint of cul ture and discipline as distinct from democracy, I have been forced to see that for the majority of individuals who do not continue to lead the life of academic Specialists, no discipline can be lasting or culture continuing which is not closely related to every-day life. And to an education which is democratic only in its Opportunity, I have gradually come to add education which is democratic, on the one hand, in its ideals, its subject matter, its organization and its method, and on the other, in compulsion which demands not only that each individual Shall have through compulsory school at tendance the rudiments of academic knowledge, but, through the compulsion Of repetition, every detail of culture and dis cipline essential to usefulness to the community and the state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Greek in the American High SchoolGreek is the one ideal element needed to round out and per feet our system of democratic education. Its call is a spiritual one. The maintenance of Greek in the high school is our tribute of loyalty to the spiritual ancestry of our culture. The time is come, when we too of Virginia and the South can afford to pay such reverence to the ideal interests of life. Our public school system can never be fully worthy of an enlightened democracy, until we shall have made it possible for any number of pupils, however small, to pursue the study of Greek during the last two years of the high school course. For nothing is more certain than that, in the profoundest essentials of our thought and speech.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Democracy of Abraham Lincoln: Address by Henry Cabot Lodge Before the Students of Boston University School of Law on March 14, 1913 The men who object to what they style government by injunction are, as regards the essential principles of government, in hearty sympathy with their remote skin clad ancestors, who lived in caves, fought one another with stone-headed axes, and ate the mammoth and woolly rhinoceros. They are interesting as representing a geological survival, but they are dangerous whenever there is the least chance of their making the principles of this ages-buried past living factors in our presentlife. They are not in sympathy with men of good minds and sound civic morality. Furthermore, the Chicago convention attacked the Supreme Court. Again, this represents a species of atavism - that is, of recurrence to the ways of thought of remote barbarian ancestors. Savages do not like an independent and upright judiciary. They want. The judge to decide their way, and if he does not they want to behead him. The Populist-s experience much the same emotions when they realize that the judi ciary stands between them and plunder. Let us now examine what Lincoln said or wrote and try to deter mine whether he stood for the new or the old, for self-limited or for direct and unlimited democracy with especial reference to the two points of government by representation and judicial independ ence. On one most memorable occasion Lincoln told the world what the Government was for which the people whom he led were pouring out their treasure and offering up their lives. I will not use my own words to describe what he then said but those of an impartial English historian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oration, Delivered at the Independent Academy, Manchester, Maryland, July 4, 1857 The positive benefit of Culture, in its relation to Patriotisin, is, then, in its education; in the wise direction of its else untutored and wasted energy; in the instruction of it in its intrinsic capacities; in the enlarge ment of its practical efficiency; in refining and intensifying it to a prompt exactitude and concentration of action; in the gladiatorial disci pline of its entire being. There would be peril, however, to the State, in the expansion and training of this sentiment, without some chastening influences to moderate its ardor, - some prudent limitations which should be laws to its activity and keep it within due bounds. Otherwise, it might break forth into anarchy, and defeat the very objects it proposed. But Culture has its restraining government, no less than its impelling inspirations. If its judicious guidance be obeyed, there need be no dangers to the State; unless, indeed, the State be founded on a lie, and repudiate the rights of man. Then, Culture and Patriotism, both of them, are full of hazards. Neither of them can have any sympathy for despotism. If not utterly exiled, they must hide in corners, and Speak only hypocrisy and falsehood. For Culture is, in its true character, of necessity, humane. It cannot hesitate to exclaim with Terence: Nihil humani a me aliemtm puto. I speak not of a merely elegant and superficial scholarship, which revels in trifles, and deals with nothing nobler than polite learning and fine art; but of that hardier, manlier Culture, which acknowledges the authority of thought; which pays homage to eternal principles; which finds its aliment in the teachings of Philosophy and Ethics. This, the only genuine Culture is the friend of individual man. It can never strike hands with tyran ny, and become the minister of its purposes; it can never urge a de frauded people to submission. And so with Patriotism, this, too, is essentially popular in its sympathies; and reaches out with eagerness toward democracy as its proper sphere.
