Excerpt from Christian Educators in Council: Sixty Addresses by American Educators; With Historical Notes Take heart! The waster builds again. A charmed life old Goodness bath; The tares may perish, but the grain Is not for death. God works in all things; all obey His first propulsion from the night; Wake thou and watch! The world is gray With morning light. The instinct of life in the animal is hardly more universal than the aspiration of man for improvement; individuals, families, soci eties, churches, nations, races, seek for its measure. Every new scheme for the ameli oration of man's condition, every ism or ology or reform, lays claim to attention on the ground of its power to improve human affairs. Great writers and orators have each advanced the-claims of their favorite theme - industry, commerce, travel, poetry, history, philosophy, science, art, religion, education each of these has performed its great part and deserves its eulogy. We disparage none; but we may say that whatever com merce, or industry, or philosophy, or religion, even, has accomplished, that only remains which has been wrought into man or his conditions by those processes of forming habits of thought or action, of growth, of nursing, or training, or instruction, which we call education. We may not pause to define this term, or lift it out of the crude notions that limit it to the book or the teacher, or that flatter every body with the idea that he knows all about it without attending to it.
