Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Economy of Education
If it could be proved that knowledge cannot be liter ally taught or the truth expressed in words, it would be a reform as shocking as when machinery was suddenly introduced to replace hand labor, yet a careful observer could not deny that machine tools have advanced more rapidly than literal tools. It certainly means something when pagan literature is taught to the plastic mind of youth and endorsed by modern educators as knowledge.
