Excerpt from A Plea for the Training of the Hand: Manual Training and the Public School
Of the many grave problems now before the American people, one of the gravest is that of the education of the masses, a problem which is justly demanding and receiving the attention of thinking men and women who have at heart the stability of the Republic. Whatever we wish to see in the life of a nation, said Wilhelm von Humboldt, we must first put into its schools. And at present, and for many years to come, the great masses of our people must be educated in our public schools.
