Vital Questions of the Day, or Historic and Economic Reviews of the Issues of Labor
Excerpt from Vital Questions of the Day, or Historic and Economic Reviews of the Issues of Labor
He enters on his work all the more heartily because ofa supreme confidence in the scholars now to be found in the American schools of practical life. These scholars are the toiling, thinking million, anxious and able to grasp what concerns them, and to lift themselves to higher estate. It is no argument against all that a few are unwise. It is no discouragement to a writer or teacher that some refuse to learn. The fact cannot be gainsaid that the spirit of inquiry is abroad as it never was before. The era of unrest is fully upon us. The meaning of it all is that more than has hitherto been given is demanded; that less shall be taken for granted than heretofore.
