Book Description

Excerpt from The State and the City I must speak on a highly technical subject which I have not myself chosen, and must give utterance to conclusions which have been forced upon me, which I have not arrived at willingly, and I am afraid that I shall certainly be a distributor of that kind of gloom of which the President of the University of Minnesota spoke so feelingly last night. I find myself envying those gentle men who were assigned genteel subjects like The University and the State, or The Evils of Liberal Education in a State School System. One who talks of politics can hardly be genteel, and I am going to talk of politics. I shall not attempt to say any of those fine things that might be said of the relation of the state and the city with regard to many other features of very common life. I shall say something about the relation of the state and the city in regard to the schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
