The School and the Schoolmaster: A Manual for the Use of Teachers, Employers, Trustees, Inspectors, &C., &C., Of Common Schools; In Two Parts (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The School and the Schoolmaster: A Manual for the Use of Teachers, Employers, Trustees, Inspectors, &C., &C., Of Common Schools; In Two Parts
A late writer (lamartine) has spoken Of the cross and the press as the instruments of the two greatest movements ever made in behalf Of human civilization. To these may be added two other agents Of mighty power: the steam engine and the common school. The moral nature of man can be permanently raised and transformed by nothing short Of the benignant influence Of Christianity. His in tellectual powers can be duly developed and wisely applied onlv under the guidance of knowledge; and Of knowledge the press is now the grand expositor and representative. To promote his physical well-being, we need industry; and Of that industry which subdues the earth, vanquishes time and space, and makes all things tributary to man's couve nicnce, the steam-engine is unquestionably the most proper symbol.
It is worthy of remark, that as each Of these great powers is necessary to the improvement Of mankind, so each Of them becomes more eflicient in proportion as it co-operates with the rest. Christianity needs the press, the press needs the steam-engine; and these, in their turn, are safe and beneficent agents only when they who wield them are animated and controlled by Christian principle. It is still more to our purpose, however, to Observe, that no one Of them can exert its appropriate influence, or dispense its proper benefits without the aid Of the school. Minds, for instance, besotted by ignorance and unaccustomed to thought.
