\ Relation of Education j
( 4* to Production 4* ]
'■'v-v'
Address By Pi;of. H. H. Reynolds Before State Ceacbers’ Association
Democracy’s highest a* well as
her most difficult task is her own
education. Universal popular
education is the greatest coneep
tion of the ages. The ideal of all
people well-educated, with wills
resolute and courageous, with !
nnnd trained to quick preception,
with hearts broad in their sym
pathies and with souls responsive
to the calls of humanity is a vision
worthy of the rich imagination
of a Milton. Hue it is just this
dream that the American people
are attempting to realize. Is it
too much to hope for ultimate
success' No; for the civilization
of one age is the realized ideals of
another, and the future will con
vert this dream of universal edu
cation into a reality. In the midst
of the absolutism of Henry VIII
Sir Thomas Moore dreamed in his
Utopia of liberty and democracy.
Two hundred and fifty years later
the Americans incorporated this
vision in the Declaration of Inde*
pendence and the Federal Consti
tution. Over against the political
philosophy of Louis XIV, “T am
the state,5' Jefferson a century la
ter put America's political sci
ence, "governments derive their
just power from the consent of the
governed.” in education the
same principle is true. In the
midst of an ignorant and down
trodden people ruled by despots
Rousseau caught a vision of liber
ty and of popular education. The
Americans with a genius for the
practical, transformed this dream
into a red school-house filled with
children on every hill-side and ev
ery vale. Now popular education
is commonplace throughout
Christendom.
In Arkansas the task of popular
education is complicated by two
stern facts; (1) ours is a rural pop
ulation, sparsely settled, (2) we
have side by side two races, one
recently emancipated and forcibly
placed on a plane of legal equality
with its former, the proudest
blood in the world a fact requir
ing two sets of schools and almost
doubling expenses. But the prob
lem can be solved and a brave, he
roic people like ours will solve it.
The practical, indomitable Ameri
can goes over, through or around
mountains; he never turns back.
The blood of the conqueror flows
in his veins; conscious of power
and of past achievements he brave-'
ly faces the future.
Dark as the picture of our real
educational condition is, there are
signs of an awakening conscious
throughout the land. The waters
are troubled. In fact an education- j
al renaissance is now sweeping ov
er the South. Beginning at the
borders bathed in by the Atlantic
it has spread westward. All the
classes are becoming interested
from governor to the humblest
citizen. The movement is taking
i form in increased local levies, in
j larger state appropriations and in
!consolidating small districts into
larger ones. Arkansas is feeling
I the advanced breezes of this edu
cational wave. Let us hope and
I pray that it may develop into a
storm and that when it has passed
away it may leave us with a sys
tem of vital schools.
Education an Investment. It
will help us in the solution of the
problem if we bear in mind that
;education pays tinunciail.v, that it
not only discovers and develops
the “lad of parts'’ for leadership,
but trains the common man to ap
ply more brain to the material
problems of life. Convince the
taxpayer that etiicieut schools
multiply wealth producing power,
that education is an investment,
not an expenditure; interest bear
: ing capital, not a charity, and the
battle for popular education is
won. 1 allow no one to go before
me in emphasizing the ethical and
culture value of education; for the
greatest wealth of the people lies
I m their soul capacity for love,
culture and noble deeds. But to
night our subject deals with edu
cation and its bearing upon the
meat and bread side of life. Af
j ter all, due honor must be paid to
| wealth; for a great civilization
| cannot be built upon poverty.
Without wealth man tends to bar
Jbarism; with it he rises from a
| Clovis to a Gladstone. With it he
builds and maintains the culture
: agents of our civilization, church*
| es, art-galleries, libraries, the
i press and the platform.
The nineteenth century was
marvelous for its brilliant achieve
ments, not the least of which was
the accumulation of untold wealth.
It was during that century that
man belted continents with rail
roads, girdled the globe with tele
graph wires, and produced four
i times as much wealth as during
I the preceding eighteen centuries
together. The United States alone
between 1850 and 1890 opened
farms aggregating in area more
than the German Empire, Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland, Holland,
! Denmark, Belgium, and Switzer
land combined; between 1875 and
11895 spent one million dollars a
day in railroad construction. Mar
! velous have been the achievements
of the last century in the material
world. What is the explanation
jof all this? Why was the nine
teenth century man so much more
productive than his ancestors? The
! explanation lies in this fact, that
during that same century, man
'expended more on his education
than he had during all the preced
ing eighteen centuries together.
With the rise of democracy a cen
tury ago the greatest educational
agency known to history was es
tablished -the public school sys
tem. The peoples’ school spread
rapidly until it became an integ
ral part of the civil establishment
of every nation of Christendom,
and even distant Japan now has
a magnificent system extending"
from the kindergarten to the Im
perial University. The marvelous
material development of the Uni
ted States is a testimony not only
to her unparallod resources, but
moreover to the economic wisdom
of popular education. The indus
trial progress of Europe, piling
up fabulous wealth, is an eloquent
witness of the same great truth.
It is the application of science to
natural forces. If therefore wo
want more wealth it is only nec
essary to apply more brain to the
soil, to the shops, to the mine, ami
to the manufactories. Brain is the
best fertilizer.
THE ORIENT AND THE
OCCIDENT.
Where is the wealth of the w^jld
today? In the enlightened West
or in the benighted East? Where
is squalid poverty? Gaunt fa
mine? In heathen India and Chi
na or in Christian American or
Europe? Why is it that the far
mer of Iowa lives in a comfortable;
home surrounded with plenty*
while his brother in India exist**
in a hut, half clad and half-starv
ed? The W esterner has applied
brain power to agriculture and as
a result he walks behind a disk
plow and rides on a McCormick
reaper, while the Hindoo scratch
es the ground with the same crude
tools, perhaps pulled by his wife,
that our fathers used in the Mid
dle Ages, save where the English
have introduced improved ma
chinery. To the problem of trans
portation also the American has
applied brain power; hence he
rides across the continent in a pal
ace ear, plows the ocean with hi.**
steam-ship and over his iron road*
tons of freight. Barring improve
ments introduced by the Western
er the Chinaman’s methods of
transportation are not materially
different feoni those of our fath
ers in the Dark Ages. By the
application of brains to mechanics*
the American has produced labor
saving machinery which is doing
the work of millions of men, thuf
: multiplying his productive power
many fold. The human labor re
quired for producing a bushel of
wheat has been reduced from
three hours in 1830 to ten minutes
in 1 s<J5. The Chinamen are using
the same mechanical appliances
and processes of his distant ances
tor. Why this difference between
the Occident and the Orient?
While other factors enter, it is
largely a difference in educational
budgets. Japan is monumental
proof of this statement. Half a
century ago .Japan was where Chi
na is now a Mediaeval country,
in poverty, with crude methods of
agriculture, manufacture and
transportation. Soon after Com
modore Perry compelled the Em
peror to throw her ports open to
trade, the Japanese began to take
on Western civilization. An im
perial commission was sent to
America; they studied our school
system from Massachusetts to
California, and returning recom
mended one of the most complete
systems of education of the world,
including compulsory attendance.
It was adopted. The results are
fresh in the minds of all of us.

the foremost military powers; not
