Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from To Ruin Is Not to Reform
Public schools are not the only institutions held up, in keen sun-light of publicity. They share this fate in common with public affairs and public men in general. But the blows which public opinion aims at public institutions are intended rather to test the strength and quality of their metal, by its ring, than to rum and destroy them. Public opinion knows full well the difference between ruin and reform. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
