Synopsis
Excerpt from The Public Education of the People: An Oration Delivered Before the Onondaga Teachers Institute
In Rome the Priesthood is thought to be the flower of the State; the most important spiritual function of the State, therefore, is the production of Priests; accordingly the greatest pains are taken with their education. Institutions are founded at the public cost, to make Priests out of men; these institutions are the favorites of government, well ordered, well watched over, well attended, and richly honored. Institutions for the education of the People are of small account, ill-endowed, watch ed over but poorly, thinly attended, and not honored at all. The People are designed to be Subjects of the Church. And as little culture is needed for that.

The Public Education of the People (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the state of public education in America is woefully inadequate, as it fails to provide all the citizens with a chance to fully develop their mental and moral capabilities. The author presents a cogent historical overview of the evolution of education in America, and compares it to the educational systems of other countries, particularly England and Rome. The author argues that a truly democratic society requires an educational system that is accessible to all, and that is designed to produce not just skilled workers, but also well-rounded individuals with a deep understanding of their rights and responsibilities as citizens. The book concludes with a passionate call for reform, urging the creation of a public education system that is truly worthy of a democratic society. Its insights on the importance of education for a functioning democracy remain highly relevant today. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
