Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Baptist Educational Convention We are less concerned about our colleges, however, than about our academies. In this apartment the Proceedings before us betray bit terly our deficiency. Here we are weakest. We know Of no academy, under the patronage of the denomination, which has more than a nominal endowment. This constitutes the maladjustment of our institutions to which we have referred. Oar institutions are strongest in proportion as they are are removed from the great body of our people. Our theological seminaries, designed necessarily for a limited though most important class, are first in strength; next are our colleges and universities, designed for greatly larger, but still limited numbers; least of all are our academies, whose function it is to bring the first grades Of higher education near to the homes, and within the means of the great mass. This maladjustment brings its punish ment, in the meagre number Of students in our colleges for the want of academies from which they may proceed, and in the small number of students in our theological seminaries for the want of students from the colleges. We have attempted to achieve impossibilities. The system of American education is a pyramid, having its base in the all-comprehending sphere of public instruction. Next to this stand the academies, themselves the highest to which the greater number who rise above the sphere Of public instruction can go, but the institutions in which multitudes find the inspiration which carr1es them to the still higher stage where are found the colleges and universities. Still above this, for the comparatively few, are the professional schools, including schools of theology. The natural place at which to begin the erection of a pyramid is at its base. We have attempted to build from the apex. It is told, to illustrate the punctuality of labor to quit at the hour, that an Irishman having his pick-axe lifted in the air when the clock began striking for twelve, left it there till the hour came for resuming work. The story of his performance is little less absurd than the attempt to construct the educational pyramid by laying the apex in mid air, and proceeding thence downward to the foundation.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Western Baptist Educational Convention, Held in the First Baptist Church, Chicago, May 24 and 25, 1871 We must seek to understand what these facts mean. I find the explanation of them in the different aims of the two educational systems. In this country, public schools are regarded as a governmental necessity. They have grown out of the conviction that the permanence and well-being of a republic depend upon the intelligence of the great body of her citizens. This conviction determines their aim, which is to leave as small a number of children as possible to grow up in dangerous ignorance. Therefore the primary school is of the first importance. Moreover, the character and tendency of the instruction which the schools afford is decided by the same consideration. Their ruling purpose is to train the young for the practical duties of citizenship and of business life. The public schools, in short, seek to meet the wants of the majority. The tendency with them, therefore, is to overestimate the present and the practical, and to disregard the past and the speculative. The voluntary system is mostly under the direction of the Church. It, too, has a definite aim, but one materially different from the preceding. This is to develop leaders of men. Hence higher education is its province, and the college is its point of departure, the vital element of the system. The kind of instruction afforded is determined by the end sought. Two things are essential to good leadership - breadth of view, which can only be obtained by a knowledge of other times, other people, and other ways of thinking than those in the midst of which we live; and wisdom, which grows out of a knowledge of what men have tried, and what men have accomplished in the past. These things are absolutely essential to the training of good leaders, able to think independently and to act prudently. Moreover, the Church wisely seeks to give that culture which will keep alive a sense of the great revolution wrought in human life by the introduction of Christianity. Now, these three purposes tend to one and the same result, to give prominence, in this scheme of instruction, to what has been somewhat contemptuously styled "antiquarianism." With such ends in view, it is manifest, again, that the voluntary system must make the college its point of departure, its head-centre of impulse and inspiration. Feeling this, each denomination of Christians, in inaugurating its educational work in a new State, seeks to lay, as soon as possible, the foundations of such an institution. The tendency, thus arising, to exceed the actual wants of the community, is further encouraged by the confidence of rapid growth which is characteristic of a new country, and which requires provision to be made, not only for the present, but also for the certain future. Then comes the struggle for existence, which, if we are to believe certain scientific teachings, is not particularly favorable to the success of the weaker sort. We can not hope to change this order of development. The fault in it, if there is any, is the assumption that State lines are natural boundaries in educational work, so that an entire system must be created in each State by each denomination. If this is a mistake, it can be remedied only, so far as I can see, by experience, and by causing the importance and necessity of secondary education to be more generally recognized. From this view of the principles which have determined the development of the two systems, we at once see why secondary education has been neglected. It lies between the college and the primary school. It is, therefore incidental to both systems, and only incidental. Both do something to promote it.
