A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

If there be one subject which, more than any other, maybe regarded as of paramount importance to the permanent well-being of a country like ours, it is that of the education of its successive generations of citizens. It has been well said that Intelligence is the life of Liberty. In a government where the masses of the people possess or control all the functions and powers which are elsewhere conferred upon hereditary sovereigns, it is essential, not only to its own stability and welfare, but to the highest and most cherished interests of every individual comprising the community, that these high powers should be delegated to and exercised only by the enlightened, the wise and the good. The following pages are offered to the public as the conclusions upon the several subjects discussed, resulting fivom an experience of nearly thirty years in the practical administration of the systems of Public Instruction in the City and State of New York. During the first half of the period, as fellow-laborer with Horace Ma-n and Heney Baenaed, and sitting at the feet of such men as John A. Dix, JoHN C. Spencee, Samuel Young and Cheistophee MoEGAN in the State Department, the author could scarcely fail of imbibing the great central truths pertaining to Popular Education and the fundamental principles upon which it should rest.
