ABSTRACT
The author compares that kind of education with the mere committing to memory of certain rules, or something which some one else thought out and executed a thousand years ago perhaps, and that is what a large part of our education really is. Education in the usual sense of the word is the mere committing to memory of something which has been known before us. It is a great satisfaction to have connected with a race men and women who are able to do something, not merely to talk about doing it, not merely to theorize about doing it, but actually to do something that makes the world better to live in, something that enhances the comforts and conveniences of life. Regardless of color or condition, the world is going to give the places of trust and remuneration to the men and women who can do a certain thing as well as anybody else or better.
