The Will Of The People

History, To Be Above Evasion Or Dispute, Must Stand On Documents, Not On Opinions.

For Centuries It Was Never Discovered That Education Was A Function Of The State, And The State Never Attempted To Educate. But When Modern Absolutism Arose, It Laid Claim To Everything On Behalf Of The Sovereign Power....when The Revolutionary Theory Of Government Began To Prevail, And Church And State Found That They Were Educating For Opposite Ends And In A Contradictory Spirit, It Became Necessary To Remove Children Entirely From The Influence Of Religion.

Government By Idea Tends To Take In Everything, To Make The Whole Of Society Obedient To The Idea. Spaces Not So Governed Are Unconquered, Beyond The Border, Unconverted, A Future Danger.

Be Not Content With The Best Book; Seek Sidelights From The Others; Have No Favourites.

There Is No Error So Monstrous That It Fails To Find Defenders Among The Ablest Men.
