Book Description
Excerpt from The Utility of All Kinds of Higher Schooling Part one of this book was published first in 1902, and so much interest was shown in the original edition that a second printing was needed in 1903 - this edition giving results of my further investigations as to the utility of an academic or classical education for young men who have to earn their own living, and who expect to pursue a commercial or industrial career. As my position on this subject seemed to meet with general endorsement, and long experience and observation had given me the impression that the value of nearly all other branches of higher education was greatly overestimated, I concluded to go into a general investigation of the subject, in order to ascertain just what the facts are, and have investigated and studied the following: Technical Education in Manufacturing. Technical Education in Civil Engineering. Technical Education in Electrical Engineering. Agricultural Colleges. Manual Training in the High Schools. Business Education. Medical Education. Scientific Education. Rural Schools. The results of these investigations are now added to the third edition of part one, as part two of the present book.

Book Description
Excerpt from The College and the Higher Life: Baccalaureate Sermons The denominational paper, the Universalist, in which this report is printed, adds some words of further description that are of interest in the same connection. He knows by experience the feelings and the needs of those who go to Tufts for an education. As President he will have a sympathetic appreciation of the status of his scholars that must greatly conduce to an influence over them for good. Further, he is proud of his Alma Mater, and from the day of his graduation to the present hour chief among his aspirations and his hopes has been a desire to see Tufts taking its place among the first universities of the land. He is a speaker, and in any assembly of educationists he will honor the school he represents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Demoralization of College Life: Report of an Investigation at Harvard and a Reply to My Critics My book on The Utility of All Kinds of Higher Schooling was the result of some of these investigations. This was followed by a pamphlet on The Futility of Higher Schooling or, more properly, a talk to college students, and this in turn by a pamphlet on The Futility of Technical Schools, being a talk to technical school students.

Book Description
. Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book Description
Excerpt from Higher Education in the United States of America American college, its absorption in the high school on the one hand and the university on the other. Dr. Burgess in an essay published in '85 on The American University said: I confess that I am unable to divine what is to be ultimately the position of colleges which cannot become universities and will not be gymnasia. It will be largely a waste of capital to maintain them. It is so now. But in spite of this dire prophecy the position of the college is stronger to-day than it was when Dr. Burgess wrote.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Trend in Higher Education There need be no hesitation in saying that in the present times there is a trend in higher education. Nor is it difficult to point out some of the more conspicuous elements which characterize the movement that is taking place before our eyes. The philosophy of it is something more difficult to formulate. Indeed, such formulation cannot be expected for a long time. Meanwhile it only remains to study the various features which, from time to time, present themselves, and to indicate their individual significance. If a unity of purpose exists in the several papers collected in this volume, it will be found in the effort made to point out this trend in some of the higher educational movements of the day. I have not undertaken to note all of these features, nor, indeed, any considerable number of them, for the field is illimitable. Nor have I proposed to classify these elements as a basis for generalization. Some such work as this may be undertaken later. I have tried only to make a record of observations here and there which may perhaps contribute something to a preview of the tendency of things in this great field of intellectual activity.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Raison D'etre of the Public High School At this point we make the digressive remark that the efficiency of the American public school in training for citizenship is likely to be severely tested in the near future. Until within recent years, the immigration into our country was nearly homogeneous and largely sympathetic, and assimilation was comparatively easy. But recently there has appeared in our midst an element peculiarly alien in race and sympathies, or revolutionary in tendencies, and in numbers sufficiently large to disturb the calm posture of our social forms and the settled traditions of centuries. Against the subversive influence of this element our common school is our tower of strength, and civics as a branch of instruction assumes paramount importance. We come now directly to the public high school. How is its existence as a part of the social structure justified? How does it appear that society receives far more than an equivalent for its cost and is the gainer by it?

Book Description
Excerpt from The Gospel of Work: Leland Stanford's Views on Higher Education Horace Greeley is said once to have made the remark: "Of all horned cattle, the college graduate is the most to be feared." There still lingers in some quarters a decided prejudice against the college graduate. You who are going out from us to-day as graduates will no doubt be made to feel this. It rests with you, in part, to determine whether the next class that goes from the University shall find this prejudice greater or less than you will find it. It is not very difficult for us to see some of the reasons for this lack of confidence. In the first place, I do not believe that it is in most cases a prejudice against a higher education or against educated persons, except as it is owing to a confusion of terms. It is common to assume that the college graduate is necessarily an educated man or woman, but this is a fundamental error. It has thus far been found impossible, even in our best and most thorough colleges and universities, to devise any system of exercises, requirements, or examinations which will make it perfectly certain that the holders of their diplomas shall be educated men and women. An education is, in one respect, like a contagious disease - not every one who is exposed to it takes it. The diploma which you receive to-day is merely a certificate that you have been exposed to an education; whether you have taken it or not, your future life alone will determine.
