-
-<p class="p1"><span class="smcap">Any City</span> (<em>impatiently</em>). H’m. It just can’t be done!
-It is out of the question to raise so much money by taxation
-this year. This list of appropriations must be cut.
-But where? What can be cut without raising a row?
-(<em>Looks over the list.</em>) Half a million dollars for a new
-bridge over the canal at 7th St. There’s a perfectly
-good bridge at 9th St., and another at 3rd St. But the
-railroad and marketmen will strike if we don’t build
-this new bridge. To keep peace, I’ll have to stand by
-that appropriation. (<em>Pointing to different items on the<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_2"></a>[2]</span>
-paper.</em>) That must not be cut; nor that; nor that; nor
-that! H’m! Three million dollars for the extension
-of Grand View Avenue. Really, that’s not necessary.
-That road is being opened only for the accommodation
-of some rich men who take advantage of my city opportunities,
-but live in the suburbs and evade paying any
-taxes to me. But their financial influence is so great, I
-dare not cut this appropriation. (<em>Continues study of
-list.</em>) No, not that; nor that; nor that! Ha! here is the
-school appropriation: three and a half million dollars. I
-hate to do it, but I’ll have to cut here. Of course, it
-means curtailing the kindergarten, deferring the building
-of the much needed new elementary school in the 3rd
-Ward, the abolition of summer schools, the serious
-handicapping of junior and senior high school work, the
-overcrowding of classes, and no hope of increase in
-teachers’ salaries. Oh! I hate to do it! But I must! It’s
-positively the only place I can cut without bringing
-about a strike or at least a kick. But—oh—Taxation
-is Vexation!</p>

-<p><span class="smcap">Any City.</span> Good for the Old Woman! I believe in

-that just because a thing is new, it is the only good
-thing in the world.</p>
-
-<p><span class="smcap">Education.</span> But a greater number believe that just
-because a thing is old, it is sacredly all sufficient. If

-how would the world be fed to-day? Think you those
-primitive stone-grinders rival the great flour mills of the

-want to go back to the earliest days when the grain was
-ground only by the teeth of the consumer. Had everyone
-followed blindly the tradition of his own time, we
-should still be at the very beginning. Look you to the

-in the world. Saw you not how my light brightened at

-their school at the same time. I tell you, the little red

-
-<div class="blockquot">
-<p>Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought
-forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty,
-and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created
-equal.</p>
-
-<p>Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether
-that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,
-can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that
-war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a
-final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that
-that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper
-that we should do this.</p>
-
-<p>But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot
-consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave
-men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated
-it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_40"></a>[40]</span>
-will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it
-can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living,
-rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which
-they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It
-is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
-before us—that from these honored dead we take
-increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the
-last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve
-that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation,
-under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and
-that government of the people, by the people, for the

-<p><span class="smcap">Any City.</span> But it is impossible that such a state of

-
-<p><span class="smcap">Education.</span> Impossible! I tell you the beginning of
-such a state of affairs exists in this land to-day. The
-danger is even now at your doors. When the penurious,
-short-sighted policy of the public drives the cultured,
-trained, and efficient teacher from the classroom, her
-place is taken by the ignorant, the untrained, or the inefficient.
-There are scores of thousands of untrained,
-inefficient teachers in American schools, teaching American
-children to-day; and, unless the public speedily
-awakes to the danger, and pays the price for competent
-service, such teachers will predominate in the schools of
-to-morrow. Unless measures are promptly taken to secure
-for every child in America a seat in a healthful
-schoolroom, and books and materials for his education,
-the public schools of the land will surely sink to the level
-of the classroom I have just shown you. Are you willing
-to trust the government of this country to citizens so
-trained?</p>
-
-<p><span class="smcap">Any City.</span> But the children you showed me are the
-children of the poor, the ignorant. Surely the children
-of the rich, the cultured, will have better training.</p>
-
-<p><span class="smcap">Education</span> (<em>sternly</em>). The children I showed you
-are the children of America; and would you train a
-selected few to rule this land? If you say <em>yes</em>, then are
-you a traitor to America. You would overthrow this
-Democracy—the “government of the people, by the<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_51"></a>[51]</span>
-people, and for the people,” and substitute an aristocracy—a
-government of the people, by a favored
-class, for—what? Nay! I tell you, “the end of American
-education is the knowledge and the practice of Democracy.”
-The education of the children in a democracy
-is the concern of all the public. It must be an education
-of all the people, paid for by all the people. You sent
-millions of Americans across the sea to make the world
-safe for Democracy. You must educate every child in
-the land to make democracy safe for America. “Education
-is the most sacred concern, and the only hope of
-a nation.”</p>

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
-visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.

-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
