Description:Excerpt from The Teacher and the State: Address Before the Graduating Classes of the Iowa State Teachers College, June 9th, 1914 This is the time for gratulation; weightier matters, I am advised, may now for this day, at least, be laid aside. Comenius and Pestalozzi, Herbart and Montessori, Hegel and Schleier macher, and all the rest may be forgotten. To-day is to-day, and all its windows open to the future. Needless to say, that future, for this class of 1914, is very bright. This is Iowa; white clouds only sweep slowly through azure deeps, owers deck all the landscapes, and the sunlight lies upon the rising harvests. And yet, were we called upon to give reasons for such Optimism as at this moment here prevails, such confidence, such security of mind, we might find ourselves, as usual, em harrassed for reply. We might begin to think again of examinations, happily now forever past; and only at the last might we fall back upon the general buoyancy of youth and find there, perhaps, the most obvious reason why, for us to-day, the fields and skies are fair. This is Commencement. But in one sense it is different from the thousand similar events which everywhere for school and college divide with the roses the glory of this lovely month of June. In the college world, generally, men come up to claim diplomas, position among educated people; here, not educated only are these young people, but educators; informed indeed, but ready to share their knowledge instantly ondemand; the day, the hour, the ceremony significant of much. Here is a double relation; past and future, to be sure, but unusual in that past and future are thus in singular fashion joined. Men and women who have enjoyed the hospitality of the commonwealth now go forth in peculiar sense, to serve it. Your speaker has no thought to be intrusive; he is merely an onlooker in this fascinating scene. But, if you please, he may attempt to answer for you the significance of the day by discussing brie y this double relation of the teacher and the state, receiving and giving. Education is said to be a great, but very ordinary, means to a great, but entirely ordinary, end. It is all so ordinary that we forget sometimes the mystery that it holds. We are richer to-day; but what is our added wealth? We are happier; wherein our blessedness acquired? We are quicker and smarter; of what kind is our accumulated wisdom? What have we gained? What have we really received? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
