Excerpt from Confessions of a Schoolmaster and Other Essays
After a service of nearly twenty years in a large city high school, it is scarcely necessary for me to offer an apology for expressing the opinions on education contained in the first essay of this volume. My views may be considered old-fashioned and out of date; but they are, in fact, the ideals of a great school and their worth has been proved through a long period of seventy-five years. The real test of these ideals is to be found in the lives and careers of the young men who have received their training in the school. Education to be worth while must be established on a broad and liberal foundation, and as Dean West truthfully says: "Like civil liberty, the higher liberal knowledge is always in peril and always worth fighting for."
