Excerpt from Cornell Rural School Leaflet, Vol. 11: September, 1917 In a time when the immediate future demands such a large proportion of the thoughts and energies of men and women, there must be some who are ready to do the less Spectacular but the no less important work of preparing for a more distant time when the world will begin to rebuild what has been destroyed, and to unite the races of men in bonds of com mon interest and humanity. The work of a true teacher is always constructive. The habits and ideals that persons acquire in childhood determine, to a large extent, their attitude all through life. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of the world rests in the hands of its teachers in schools and in homes, and if the day ever comes when we put one-half the money into education that to - day we are putting into destruction, wars will cease. True education must be founded on ideals no less than on facts, on char acter no less than on intellect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
