Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Slater and Jeanes Funds: An Educator's Approach to a Difficult Social Problem
In turning through the records, one's attention is arrested by interesting glimpses Of the founders, Mr. John F. Slater Of Connecticut and Miss Anna T. Jeanes Of Pennsylvania. In a time Of increasing secularism, it is interesting to note that both of them seemed to have been moved by religious motives. Belief in the good life and the reality Of goodness at the heart Of things has been productive Of good results in the life Of mankind. In our revolt against outworn dogma and sterile religious institutionalism, it is possible to lose sight Of the fact that the most important contributions to human welfare usually have been made by those who believe that back of the universe is a goodness that seeks to cooperate with men in their struggle for excellence.
