Ol)eTEttd ofTEducation OUR interest in education increases as its utility and necessity become more clearly recognized. In the progress of civilization there is a continual transference of things from the list of luxuries to the list of necessities. Educa- tion has thus passed from the list of luxuries, where it had remained so long, to a permanent place among the necessities of life. This has been done not merely as an act of benevolence or of culture ; the motive, on the part of the state, is protection and self-preservation ; on the part of individuals, the thought of utility rather than culture has become dominant.

Germany, long since, has provided the common school for all her children, and compelled attendance to such a degree that illiterary is practically unknown. France has a school system probably the most perfect in all the
