The American College in Relation to Liberal Education (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from The American College in Relation to Liberal Education First, all men and women, especially in a republic, require a knowledge of the simme rudiments, such as reading, writing, arithmetic and geography. These elements are imparted by the common school, are universally essential to the well-being of the people and the state, and constitute the substance of a primary or elementary education. Second, a considerable number of persons contemplating business, teaching, the care of property, or aspiring after some induction into the superior circles of life and thought for their own sake, require a more extended knowledge, but still limited both in the number of topics and depth of attainment, such as is imparted by our high schools, normal schools and academies. This may be called, by names as vague as the thing signified, secondary or academic education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
