Excerpt from Advanced Education: The Relations of the National and State Governments to Advanced Education

The result has been great, politically, intellectually, and morally. These universities, supported by the whole people, and for the whole people, stand far above any others in the world.

The United States, agreeing with Germany in the general line of her public school policy and primary edu cation, has pursued an entirely differ ent path in regard to university policy and advanced education.

While making primary. And second ary education a matter of National and State concern, it has left its advanced education, in the main, to various religious sects. It has allowed an utterly illogical imaginary line to be drawn, below which the State pro vides for education gladly and fully, above which she turns the whole matter over to the sectarian spirit of the country. While the United States has pushed the roots of its public school system down into the needs and feelings of the whole people, and thus obtained a deep rich soil, which has given sturdy growth, it has pushed the roots of advanced education down into the multitude of scattered sects.
