Higher Educational Ideals in 1890's

Talks about the education that is most useful and beneficial. Determines college as being well worth the effort and then goes into determining the best course of study. Discounts the traditional subjects such as rhetoric, Latin, classics, ect. Settles on scientific study. "The method of discovering truth acquired from such study is applicable to all situations in life." "Of the principles of science and the method of scientific investigation we cannot well have too much." Should see college as a beginning to education not an end, else it is actually harmful to the potential of an individual.
