Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of the American Citizen IN many of the political writings of the day, there is a tendency to lay too much stress on the mechanism of government and of industry, and too little stress on the force by which this mechanism is kept at work. In recent educational movements, also, too much thought is perhaps given to the problem of preparing men and women to take their several places in a social machine, and too little to the development of that power and spirit upon which the perpetuation of our whole social order depends. From my public addresses and magazine articles of the past few years, I have tried to select those which emphasize the more neglected side of these questions, and to arrange them in a continuous series. In a book thus prepared, it is inevitable that there should be some repe tition and some apparent inconsistencies. If the reader is perplexed by any of these things, he will perhaps find the explanation in the date of the different utterances and the special conditions under which they were made public.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Education of an American Citizen The purpose of this series of loosely con nected chapters is to call attention to some of the influences which direct, and some of the qualities which mark, the religious education of an American citizen. The normal life of an American proceeds from childhood to youth and from youth to manhood, through the shift ing environments of home, school, college, busi ness, citizenship and Church; and at each step he is met by conditions and demands which may either promote or obstruct his religious educa tion. What, then, are the circumstances which are likely to be most favorable for a healthy minded and progressive religious experience? What can be done by parents, teachers, em ployers, statesmen, or pastors, to reinforce American citizenship with a rational religious life? What are the special obstacles which American civilization offers to religious prog ress? What are the traits of the American character on which teachers of religion may most confidently depend?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Education and American Citizenship: An Address Delivered Before the Associated Alumni of the University of Rochester The statements I have already made are intended simply to emphasize what perhaps may need no special emphasis that education cannot, in any proper sense, be regarded as an end in itself, but that its value and efficiency depend up on an appreciation of the dignity and demands of human life. But may it not be pertinent to go a step farther and ask, What is that conception of life which should be kept in view in our educational systems? What, in short, is the real significance of human life - what is life for? One of the greatest achievements of modern science is generally conceded to be the discovery of the law of evolution. One of the factors of this law relates to the theory of lifewherein life is regarded as a universal struggle for exist ence. As this theory is generally interpreted, those individ nals which are best fitted by virtue of superior strength or intelligence, survive; while the weak and less intelligent go to the wall. Life is looked upon as a battle for survivor ship and supremacy. And this is supposed to apply not only to the lower animals, but to man as well; and is often emphasized as a stimulant to education. Success in life is looked upon as a victory in the battle of life. To achieve success one must possess the power and the intelligence necessary to triumph over others. If he has not received by nature the requisite amount of strength and skill, he must cultivate and develop it by artificial means. In this way he may obtain an advantage in the inevitable struggle; in this way he may acquire personal power and supremacy, and thus reduce others to a relative condition of subordina tion. It is by his superior knowledge and mental discipline obtained by education, that he may acquire those qualities which will enable him to outwit his fellow men, and will ensure his preeminence in the world and hence his success in life. This is the egoi'stic theory of life and education a theory which is based upon the hypothesis that the life of man, like the life of the brute, is a competitive struggle for existence and individual supremacy. So far as this theory is accepted and adopted as a principle of action, it begets the spirit of self-aggrandizement, of personal ambi tion, of excessive individualism, of antagonism of man against man. It ignores the social instincts of human na ture, and enthrones selfishness as the ruling principle of human conduct. It perverts and poisons the spirit of in dustrial enterprise, and leads to the exploitation of the weak by the strong. It infects and corrupts the political life of the nation, by debasing its legitimate institutions for the advancement of selfish ends - making of the ballotan instrument of bribery, of parties the means of acquiring personal power and mastery, and of our legislative halls a field for individual and corporate plunder.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from What America Means to Me: A Book of the People, by the People, for the People; Designed for Their Use in Preparing Themselves for the Practice of Citizenship IS it not a venturesome experiment for a nation to admit to the difficult privilege Of being a citizen in a democracy such a multitude Of recruits with no Special training for their task? Is it not an astonishing fact that for generations we have fought so strenuously for the franchise, but have done SO little to prepare ourselves for its exercise? It sometimes requires a surgical operation to awaken a nation to a realization of its Obvious needs. Such an Operation was performed for us by the recent World War. It helped us realize what it means to our national welfare, that among candidates for citizenship there is so large a number Of resident and unprepared aliens, that the military draft revealed an appalling number of illiterates among the native-born, that less than half the citizens Of America have had even a grammar school education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Citizen: His Rights and Duties, According to the Spirit of the Constitution of the United States Being thus satisfied that there was no real propriety in declin ing the enterprise proposed, 'on the mere ground of professional objection, the only difficulty which remained was the personal doubt, whether I could hope to execute it acceptably. True, indeed, it was, that it might be better done by others. But this could hardly be admitted as a valid excuse, because it would Ope rate equally against every human undertaking All that I had a right to assume was the necessity of possessing a competent share of, the knowledge, reflection, and experience which the work required. The first thirty years of life passed in the stud ies, business, and intercourse of the world - seven of those years given to the profession of the law - Sixteen years devoted to the task of education - the training of a numerous family - abun dant Opportunities of intimacy, abroad and at home, with all the classes of society, and the whole united, from my youth up, with the constant love of books, and the peculiar tastes and habits of an author - all this seemed to warrant the hope that I might produce a work of some utility on the rights and duties of the American citizen, Without any serious diminution of the labors due to the paramount service of the Gospel. 'at all events, I could not honestly deny that I ought to be tolerably qualified to make the effort, with a fair promise of success; and therefore I concluded\that the attempt would not be justly liable to the charge of inconsistency or presumption.

The members of the two lower classes in Yale College were asked which would be their preference: to win a Y in athletics, or the rank in scholarship that assured membership in the (i) B K Society. A large majority preferred eminence in Scholarship to eminence in athletics. They were ready to take education in arts and letters at its real value. They felt that to gain that was what had brought them here. But College, at best, can give us but a small part of an education. It is only the preface of the book, which she translates for us. Her aim is to let us know why it was written, and for what. What it is comes later. In Emerson's wol'ds' The things taught in colleges and schools are not an educa tion, but the means of education.

Higher education began at about fourteen, and continued until the young man reached his majority.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colored American From Slavery to Honorable Citizenship We are not ignorant of the fact that the eye of the critic will discern imperfections, but after much and labored research we have followed the plan that, in our judgment, would make the volume an incentive to greater progress in the future. In the chapter on Noted Men and Women we may be charged with gross omissions, but the modesty of many men and women worthy of mention has pre vented a record of noble lives. In other cases the manuscript did not reach us in time. We have quoted largely from different authors, and wherever possible have given credit, but in some cases even this was not possible, as the author was not always known. We are especially indebted to Dr. Hubbard, of Meharry Medical College, and Prof. Spence, of Fisk University, for valuable information.
