The Worker Must Work For The Glory

Education Is That Whole System Of Human Training Within And Without The School House Walls, Which Molds And Develops Men.

...in Any Land, In Any Country Under Modern Free Competition, To Lay Any Class Of Weak And Despised People, Be They White, Black, Or Blue, At The Political Mercy Of Their Stronger, Richer, And More Resourceful Fellows, Is A Temptation Which Human Nature Seldom Has Withstood And Seldom Will Withstand.

It Is The Growing Custom To Narrow Control, Concentrate Power, Disregard And Disenfranchise The Public; And Assuming That Certain Powers By Divine Right Of Money-raising Or By Sheer Assumption, Have The Power To Do As They Think Best Without Consulting The Wisdom Of Mankind.

At Best, The Natural Good-nature Is Edged With Complaint Or Has Changed Into Sullenness And Gloom. And Now And Then It Blazes Forth In Veiled But Hot Anger.

The Function Of The University Is Not Simply To Teach Breadwinning, Or To Furnish Teachers For The Public Schools, Or To Be A Centre Of Polite Society; If Is, Above All, To Be The Organ Of That Fine Adjustment Between Real Life And The Growing Knowledge Of Life, An Adjustment From Which Forms The Secret Of Civilization.
