Présentation de l'éditeur
This book sets forth in somewhat graphic and very interesting ways several important phases of human progress in theS tate of New York, and so in the country. It pencils, with a masters hand, life in western New York when the Genesee country was upon the national frontier and sparsely peopled by the very salt of the earth. It throws light upon the early life at Hamilton College, one of the best of the many denominational colleges which started the beacon fires of education inN ew York. It portrays an educational missionary movement which was among the first, if it was not the very first, of its kind, and which initiated methods that have been adopted since in every considerable settlement in this country. It traces, with less detail than is desired, the evolution of one of the earliest, and certainly one of the very best, of theS tate schools for the training of teachers a school that was distinguished and became widely influential by reason of the sane and original educational philosophy of its first great principal. And it takes some very natural excursions through the valleys and up to the mountain peaks of the far reaching and broken field of American education. Through all this there is the modest but virile personality of one of the great men of the nineteenth century.
