Excerpt from Canadian CivicsOne of the most important duties of the state is to provide for the education of the children Who Will some day be its masters. Demoeracy With all its good and evil must be accepted as the basis of modern govern ment. Though here and there a philosopher may scoff atbthe suffrage of the plow, yet social order and stability must henceforth depend on either the tolerance or the good Will of the masses of the people. The time When a small educated class could safeguard the glories of civilized life and the arts by the use of physical or moral force, is rapidly disappearing. Therefore, it is a self - evident fact that the state ought to teach its future citizens the worth of Our civilization and the ways of preserving it from impairment, and of assisting in its progress. We must no longer, as those of an earlier age, walk calmly over the surface underneath Which slumbers the volcano of popular passion. The fruits of centuries of toil are too precious to be exposed to any possibility of injury. There must be a means sought for traming our people in social and civic responsibility.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
