The Alchemist of Education - The Necessity for Religious Training in the Public School
Abstract
A civilization is high-minded and progressive in proportion as it has ambitions for its children. There never was such an appetite for education in the world as now. It is the altar and the shrine at which the world kneela. All this is admirable. But we are beginning to discover that intellectualization of the world has been growing in advance of its moralization. We are coming to feel that education in its secular significance is not sufficient. We must have moral training, and that training must begin with the child. The future finds its hope of spiritual power and its promise of moral advancement in what is accomplished to-day for the intelligence and refinement of children.
