DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Year-Book of Albion College for 1886-87 IN giving this year-book to the public we have two objects in View. We seek to contribute in some measure to the solu tion of the problem of education which is now engaging the thoughts of many earnest educators and friends of human pro gress. We also desire to lay before the people the plans and Spirit of work as it is carried forward at Albion College. The state and the church should not be competitors in the educational field. They should co-operate so that the two shall accomplish more than either alone can possibly achieve. In erecting a state university it was not intended to throw any obstruction in the way of church efforts to educate the people. It was a practical and effective recognition of the duty of the state to care for the instruction of the young. And it is as much the duty of the church to make provision for the education of the people as if the state failed in the discharge of her obliga tions. The christian church can reach a class which the state is unable to in uence. It can also supply positive religious in uences and guidance which secular schools cannot guarantee.
