Book excerpt: Excerpt from School and College, Vol. 1: Devoted to Secondary and Higher Education In one point the observations which follow will be somewhat lacking in unity. Part of them will relate especially to the work of universities and colleges, part to that of high and intermediate schools, and part to primary teaching. But the business of education is in effect one, so that a certain integrity will, after all, characterize what is offered. Let no one, from the title of the article, infer that its author supposes the educational movement which he is to discuss to be all in the future. Some of its steps are in places partly, perhaps wholly, taken already. Elsewhere teachers and school authorities are poising, all ready to take them. Reforms always move slowly at first, and most slowly of all in affairs of the immaterial life, where they are not indispensable to mere animal existence. But humanity sweeps onward, and any stream of tendency which actually belongs to its advance is sure to flow more swiftly as it cuts for itself a deeper and deeper channel, till the rill becomes an Amazon, carrying everything before it. Foremost among the items of educational progress to which attention is invited, is a new conception of the nature and ends of education, new to some in omitting certain elements, to others in introducing elements, to others in relative emphasis of the elements recognized by all.
