Print on Demand. This book argues that educating women is essential for the progress of civilization and delves into the historical and cultural reasons why women have been denied access to education. The author traces the history of female education from ancient times to the present day, examining the role of women in different societies and the ways in which their education has been shaped by cultural norms and expectations. Drawing on historical examples and philosophical insights, the author argues that the denial of education to women has had a detrimental impact on both women and society as a whole. The book also provides a glimpse into the lives of women who have overcome adversity to achieve great things, highlighting the transformative power of education for women and girls. Ultimately, the book makes a compelling case for the importance of investing in female education, arguing that it is not only a moral imperative but also a key to unlocking the full potential of societies around the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Education is one of the most prominent features, as well as the most efficient lever, of civilization. To its melio'rating influence we owe, in an eminent degree, our elevation above the brutes which surround us. By it we are literally brought out from our pristine rude ness, and trained up to beauty, happiness, and usefulness. - Let me here be understood to speak not merely of men tal, but also. Of physical and moral training - oi the com plete and rythmical developement of the whole being; which is at once the design and necessity of our nature. The Creator did not permit man to fall from his first és tate of innocence and purity, that he might continue to grovel in darkness and misery, else He had never opened a door of escape; nor are the blight and mildew of the fall entirely consonant with man's nature, else he had never sought to emerge from their slime and filth. The reflection, then, is as consolitary as it is rational, that the arm oi Omnipotence is always out-stretched to help those engaged in toiling up to the elevation of the sons of God. The advance has been slow, but it cannot be doubted that, during these. Six thousand years, the world has made much solid and substantial progress. More than four centuriesago, Jack Cade, an Irish adventurer, having gained some advantages in a rebellion against Henry VI of England, is represented by Shakespeare as berating Lord Say, in this style: Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm: and whereas before our fathers had no other books but the score and tally, thou has caused print ing to be used: and contrary to the King, his crown and dig nity, thou hast built a paper-mill. It will be proved to thy face, that thou hast men about thee, that usually taulk of a noun and a verb; and such abominable words, as no chris tian ear can endure. Such were the sentiments, the great dramatic poet, attributed to one, who aspired to the throne of England, in the middle of the fifteenth century. Doubt less much poetic license was used, to convey much truth; and the sentiments attributed to Cade were not of a perfect in dex of the ignorance of the more common people of those times.
