A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Wednesday Evening, September 10, 1870.) Ladies and Gbntlescen :C ustom indicates that the A nnaal A ddress, on an occasion like this, should be devoted to a review of the entire field which the Association occupies, or to some portion thereof with which the speaker is particularly acquainted. Honored by your confidence, I shall be governed by this usage, and sha Uask you to consider this evening, American Education, in some of its broadest and freshest aspects; to look at the recent progress and present condition of instruction in this country, not as annalists, noras statisticians, noras teachers, but as citizens, and (without being restricted by dates) to cast your glance backward chiefly upon the movements of the last ten years, I need hardly add that the time at our command will only permit us to take a birds eye view. Wh UeI shall scarcely refer to other branches of social science, I would not seem to be indifferent to their progress, or unmindful of the fact that education is but one of several forces upon which the progress of civilization depends. We cannot forget that the life of a nation is affected by the territory upon which it dwells, and by natural laws, which science, with its skilful hand, is steadily revealing. The extent, the structure, the climate, the products, the geographical relations of the United States, have had much to do in determining the character of our intellectual activity. Then there are the subtle influences which our institutions have inherited fix)m A nglican, Teutonic, Roman, Jewish, and other remote societies, binding us by ties which we can neither sever nor detect.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The papers included in this number of the Journal of Social Science are nearly all the Saratoga Papers of 1894. As some misapprehension may exist in regard to the publication of papers by the A ssociation, it may here be said that all papers engaged for the General Meeting of the American Social Science Association are so engaged, with the understanding that they may be printed in iht Journal of Social Science if the Council so decide. I f, therefore, the writers choose to publish their papers elsewhere (to which the Council offers no objection), it must be with the stipulation that these papers may also be published in thewrnal, at the option of the Council as to the time of publication. A list of all the Addresses and Papers for the meeting of 1894 is printed on pages v., vii. Concord, Mass., Nov. id, 1894.
