My Child :A mid the severe pressure of daily labors and cares I have tended you. Under deprivation and humiliation I had but a cheerful countenance for you. Many a long winters night I have watched over you, nursed and taught you until the sun rose, and my weary head without repose entered upon the struggle of the day. It is time you go forth and stammer your lesson to the world. Your dress is simple, for service and not for parade, but your armor shall make you strong in battle. There is no loss of force. The life and spirit of my sweet little Julia, which floated away from her while I attended to you and your wants, will be with you ;and however much you may be abused, never mind, if only thereby other children will be treated more tenderly, and will be kept alive and be made happy. The perishing masses are the import of thy message ;nothing can save them but an Education aiming in all its parts at the preservation of the individual and the race.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book posits that the increased rates of mortality, insanity, and crime in the 19th century are evidence of a decline in the human race. The author cites statistics showing that insanity has increased since 1832 in many countries, that insanity, suicide, crime, and various forms of degeneracy run in families, and that recruits for the military service have been consistently getting shorter. The author does not merely recite facts, but examines the causes of these trends: the spread of consumption, scrofula, alcoholism, and even the growth of the factory system, which has led to the physical degeneration of workers. Proposing that the preservation of the race must be the primary function of education, the author makes a case for a physiological, scientific, and industrial education to promote human health, intelligence, and prosperity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
