Excerpt from National Ideals and Problems: Essays for College EnglishIn this book my purpose has been to bring together a number of significant essays, addresses, and state papers which should be helpful in showing students what others, chie¿y their fellow Americans, have thought or now think about their country its people, its ideals, and its significance both at home and abroad.The time is opportune for seeking a more intelligent acquaint ance with our national ideals and problems. The war thrusts upon the nation the need of burnishing ideals as well as weapons. We should use this war to Clarify our vision and intensify our national purposes, and we must, in our schools and colleges, make it a means for developing catholicity of sp1r1t, human sym pathy, sacrificial devotion to convictions, and passion for truth and justice.Realizing the danger of doing violence in the stress of con¿ict to the very ideals we seek to defend and exalt, President Wilson early addressed a plea to the teachers in all grades of schools urging the conservation of our ideals. Said he, The war is bringing to the minds of our people a new appreciation of the problems of national life and a deeper understanding of the meaning and aims of democracy. Matters which we have here tofore deemed commonplace and trivial are seen in a truer light. When the war is over we must apply the wisdom we have acquired in purging and ennobling the life of the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
