Book Description
Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Annual Commencement of Dickinson College, 1835 The spirit of inquiry, which has' prevailed in reference to Ed ucation, has already elicited such copious information on the subject, that some may be disposed to regard any further dis cussion of it as useless. Were the productions of the pen and of speech designed only to instruct, there might be some ground forjthe opinion. Could we content ourselves to treat subjects of vital public importance like the mock discus sions of the schools, in which the object is to see how much can be said upon a question, we might admit that if all has not been said on the subject of education that was possible, at least there has been enough for the formation of our opinions, and the direction of our practice. But who does not know that after the public mind has been fully enlightened upon a topic, there still remains the more difficult, and not less important, duty, of moving it to action.
