Book excerpt: Excerpt from A National System of Education: Presidential Address Before the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, Berkeley, California To the American, the explanation Is very simple. Under our dual system of government, in so far as education has been a state function at all, it has been relegated to the local community or state government. There was nothing, there fore, for a Secretary of Education to do. At the very beginning of the Constitutional Period, the United States became possessed of a patrimony of public lands. This possession was destined to play a most important part in our national development, and in nothing a greater part thanin our Education. The declaration of the Ordinance of 1787 that schools and the means of Education shall forever be encouraged, has had more than the force of law - it has been truly constitutional. By universal consent, the Public Land was, in some way, to further the nation's greatest aspiration, namely, the education of the people.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education Reform: A Review of Wyse on the Necessity of a National System of Education, Comprising the Substance of That Work, So Far as Relates to Common School and Popular Education The following sheets are, in reality, not so much a Review of Mr. Wyse's work on Education Reform, as an attempt to lay before the reader that part of it, which is more particularly applicable to Common Schools. The defects in practical education which the author so feelingly deplores, are such as our own countrymen have not been slow to discover, and we believe that neither to Prussia, Germany, nor Switzerland, will they yield the palm in the earnest search for more approved means of general instruction. The question has of late been kept alive in the Union, by various publication of some improved system, and will therefore be likely to give grave attention to a work put forth by one who has attained a well-earned celebrity for his exertion in the cause, and whose opinions are listened to with profound respect, by persons of every political temperament. The work from which this summary is extracted is comprehensive in its view, but extended in its details; it is, therefore, one to which public men would at this juncture be hardly disposed to give so large a share of consideration as every part deserves; and it contains some matters also, which, however important in the abstract, are not so immediately pressing as others. Those observation, however, which have reference to Popular Education and its concomitants, come home to the bosom of every man, in every grade of society, and are vitally connected with good order, both moral and political, and therefore can be neither too early no too generally diffused.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Spirit in Education The leaders in these associations were men like Robert Living ston, American ambassador to France; Dewitt Clinton, governor of New York; Samuel Dewitt, surveyor general of New York; and Stephen van Rensselaer. Two college professors were also members of the New York Society. The subjects discussed at their meetings covered a wide range, e. G., methods of fertilization, experiments in growing com, a proposed system of national standards of weights and measures, etc; In 1787, the Boston Association of Mechanics and Tradesmen, in a patriotic efiort to protect and develop home industries, sent a citou lar letter to other similar associations urging cooperation. These as sociations took an active part in the struggle for the ratification of the Constitution. But for the firm belief and ardent hope that the Federal Constitution would protect and encourage the manufactures of the United States, it would never have been adopted. In this they were not disappointed, for the first act of the consolidated govern ment (17 89) was a statute for the joint purposes of raising revenue and protecting manufactures by laying duties on goods, wares, and merchandise imported. The first Federal patent law was passed in 1790. The ratification of the Constitution, the funding of the national debt, and the establishment of a national banking system furnished a safe basis for industrial development. These fiscal measures also supplied a powerful economic motive for the maintenance of national unity. Hamilton's Report on Manufactures (1791) urged that a Federal Board for Promoting Arts, Agriculture, Manufactures and Com merce be created to encourage by rewards and lucrative premiums, the introduction of useful discoveries, inventions and improvements and to pay the expenses of immigration of artists and manufacturers in important branches of industry. The Federal board was never appointed, but the report had an immediate effect. In 1791, the Philadelphia Society for the Promotion of Agriculture offered prizes for the best farm products. A bill was introduced into the legisla ture of Pennsylvania (1798) levying a public tax of $50 for each member of the legislature, the money thus collected to be offered as rewards for such articles of Agricultural Production or improve ments in Manufactures, or the useful Arts as they shall think will be beneficial to the country. The bill was not passed until 1820. The legislature of New York State began lending money to individuals to enable them to establish and carry on manufactures, and in 1808 passed an act granting premiums for the best specimens of woolen cloth manufactured in the State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A System of National Education There can be no doubt that the Educational System of Europe is a great advance on the many methods of antiquity, but its defects are also palpable. It is based on an in sufficient knowledge of human psycho logy and it is only safeguarded in Europe from disastrous results by the refusal of the ordinary student to subject himself to the processes it involves, his habit of studying only so much as he must to avoid punishment or to pass an immediate test, his resort to active habits and vigorous physical exercise. In India the disas trous effects of the system on body, mind and character are only too appa rent. The first problem in a National System of Education is to give an Education as comprehensive as the European and more thorough, with out the evils of strain and cramming.
