OUR DEBT TO THE FUTURE.
“It need hardly he said that tho State should inculcate no party doctrine, political or other; and that public schools should be tuned neither to internationalism, imperialism nor communism. What is necessary is that all who are taught at all should be trained to detect the relation of cause and effect, to discern not merely what it is, but why it is, how it came about, and who or what was responsible for the benefit or the bane. Above all, education is a thing of the spirit. ‘What do I owe to posterity,’ asked a cynic, ‘what has posterity done for mo?’ He forgot what he owed to the past; and he is a bad man who does not pay to the future at least as much as ho has received from the past. Progress has only been made by th'ose who have paid more.”—Professor A. W. Pollard, C. 8., in the “ Evening News,” of London.
