Excerpt from Education in Minnesota, Vol. 1 of 2 We study the history of institutions in order the better to understand our own. We begin by studying our own, after which we study those that will help us interpret the one under which we live. In education it will be found a very interesting as well as profitable study to notice how old forms and ideas have been incorporated in the systems of the present, and how new ideas are struggling for recognition and a place. Our state is near enough to the past to feel the power of a system of aristocratic education, and at the same time to be fully possessed with democratic ideas of a practical education for all the people. Upon the invitation of the State Historical Society I had the honor to prepare and present before that society at its annual meeting a History of Education in Minnesota. Upon the basis of this address I have prepared this volume with special reference to our educational public. Its plan is to indicate the development of the permanent factors of our school system, and to show the place of our system in those of the present day.
