Public education v has played so
great a part- in the advancement of
the people In the United States of
America that Its history can not be.
separated from the story of our na
tional progress. From th« begin
ning of settlement In the American
continent there has been step- taken
toward bettec facilities in education.
The modern student - of >ducation
looks on the provisions for education
under the -English settlers of Vir
ginia and th* Dutch setiiers of New
Vark as being inefficient. The set
tlers took the same view of educa
tional provision*.’ else the facilities
w ould not have tern Improved as j
rapidly as-they wer\ At 'bes* in]
the time of thq pioneer the move
ment for better education Mvma to
have been almost at a standstill for,
a period of almost one hundred and,
Ptty years. We should n**. proul of
the advancement that our nation has
made especially within ihq last half
centuiy. .
Our last half century Is .spoken of
ns the period of ^advancement in
,i>ducatlon and mabufa^ure. With
in the last fifteen years the average
school term has increased about 15
pef cent; teachers salaries, 30 per
cent and value In school property.
75 per cent. It has been said that
the comfort and the progresh of
mankind may be found in Ameri
ca* Ho#. Is sugh a statmeent to b*»
verified? * Only by the persistence of
'ie educational ideal among the
American people. " ftae youth of to
day must be educated for tomorrow’.
National (ioiernnient ami Education.
. The I’nited States has not under
taken to directly provide for the
support of public institutions of
learning Our Constitution gives the
national congress no power directlv
over our public schools. Therefore
the care of public education hsu> be»:i
definitely assumed by the states. The
national, government however Jias
not neglected education, but has
done a great deal toward the sup
port of public schools and higher
institutions of learning. At. the
present time the I'niled States has
no national university, amj there is
a question whether or not the nation
could no more through such a unt-
'•yerslty for the uaRf* *of education,
than it is dolngFet* the pr?sert

as early as 1795 subscriptions by
individuals were made*to the amount
of $30,0041 for the support of nation
al university but It was never ^es
tablished. The I’nited States of
course maintains such institutions
as known as Military . Academy at
West Point since 1802. and a Naval
Acad my at. Anrtapolis, since 1865.
Since 191 ir there have been sixty-
eight agricultural ’and mchanicat

The Nut-taw ami the Indian’** Eelu
" ration, .w* .
The problem of how to deal with
the American Indians has been a
perplexing one. The net tiers who
first came to America found them
friendly, but their barbarous char
acter was unknown. We are so of
ten ready to criticize them for their
ignorance and brutality without turn
ing our eyes back to the’age in which
the -Anglo-Saxon . race in England
carried on greater warfare, if pos
sible. tha n the Indians did in Ameri-
i. The Indian problem has been
almost pvercome by efforts *of the
American people, who ke°p n their
minds tl *> education'll Ideal. Mis
sionaries were sent to the Indian
befor e and After we had toj flg’ t
them. „ The problem of how to deal
with the Indians was the real pec
plexing one brought- up in the Sec
ond Continentlal Congress mi 1775.
From that date efforts and appro
priatlons have been made through
congress for the education of the In
dian. Before 181> congress made
appropriations-to christen Institu-
‘•‘ons that were-engaged in educating
the Indians. In 1819 the national
congress made ao appropriation of
$1,000‘for- the estahlishmet *qf In
dian schools in America. Such edu
cational legislation' went on until
1894. when congress voted to v ft li
ft old sectarian school support, pfter
which expenditures were "in the hands
of a I'nlted State* superintendent of
Indian schools. The last I’nited
States-, report from the Educational
Commissioners names 22 states and
territories haying .-.chools adopted, to
the needs of Indians.
