Excerpt from Compulsory Education and Its Relations to the Defective Classes The recognition of the arbitrary demands of a nation's prosperity, growth and freedom rests with the education and intelligence of its citizenship.

Excerpt from Compulsory Education: Prepared for the Public Education Association of Philadelphia, and the Department of Education of the Civic Club of Philadelphia Compulsory education is not a new thing. It finds many advocates and many opponents. Undoubtedly, it is not the highest ideal in education. It is but a means to the end desired. With reason, its Oppon ents urge that the family is the unit of our social fabric; the control of the child is a right inherent in the parent. Yet so long as we have ignorant or selfish parents, we shall have to resort to compulsion: for by its aid only can the child's right to an education be enforced. III our zeal for parental authority, let us not forget the child. Compulsory education has been found necessary in nearly every country of Europe, in several countries of South America, in Japan, and in thirty-one of the United States. The Pennsylvania law is the most recent, having been enacted May 16, 1895. It took effect at once in the State at large, but not in Philadelphia. This fact was due partly to its defective form. The original report of the Civic Club Committee (presented November 21, 1896, by Mrs. Talcott Williams) showed the Objects Of the Pennsylvania law and the difficulties in its enforce ment. Attention was called to the fact that absentees become vagrants or criminals. Another report points out that in Chicago, according to one of its own school reports, out of children not attending school, in 1891-1892, more than three-fourths were notorious loafers and idlers, who could not be forced into the schools and who furnished recruits for reform schools and penitentiaries.

Excerpt from Compulsory Education and the Southern States Even in a cursory examination of the subject it will be necessary to sketch the experiences of European countries and American States. Statistics will necessarily occupy a prominent place in such a sketch, as these are essential to an intelligent understanding of this important educational question. These may appear prolix, yet they are the meat of the subject. First, as to European countries: The Germans were the earliest to institute a system of general education, and the wonderful progress of Germany in every respect is now largely attributed to the thoroughness of national education. Especially in the last twenty years has the aspect of the nation been greatly changed. Some attribute this to the large number of special technical schools, which are also undoubtedly potent factors, but some more organic reason in the national life must be discovered. The English consul, Mr. Powell, in an interesting report on these conditions, says that this (commercial and industrial) success is due less to superior commercial education than to the high state of general education that Germany has enjoyed for many years, which was formerly lacking, and is even now lacking in several essential points in Great Britain. The fact that in Germany elementary education has been generally compulsory and, to a large extent, also gratuitous, for more than one hundred and fifty years, is recognized to be an essential element in recent political, industrial and commercial successes of the nation. Nothing short of a general uplifting of the mass of the people will raise a nation to a higher level in all respects.

Excerpt from The History of Compulsory Education in New England: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Arts, Literature, and Science of the University of Chicago, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Besides the establishment of schools, he urged the formation of libraries. Finally, he says, it is well for all those, who have so much love and desire, that schools and studies be established, and sustained in Germany, to keep in mind that we must spare no trouble nor expense to furnish good libraries, especially in great cities, where such are possible. For if the Gospel and all the arts are to remain, they must indeed be enclosed and bound up in books and writings. T These libraries were not to include the writings of the school-men and the church fathers merely, but also the works of every great writer, whether pagan or Christian.

Twelve-term Texas Congressman, Presidential candidate, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with a highly provocative treatise about how we need to fundamentally change the way we think about America's broken education system in order to fix it. Whether or not you have children, you know that education is vital to the prosperity and future of our society. Yet our current system simply doesn't work. Parents feel increasingly powerless, and nearly half of Americans give our schools a grade of "C". Now, in his new book, Ron Paul attacks the problem head-on and provides a focused solution that centers on strong support for home schooling and the application of free market principles to the American education system. Examining the history of education in this country, Dr. Paul identifies where we've gone wrong, what we can do about it, and how we can change the way we think about education in order to provide a brighter future for Americans.
