SCIENCE AND PUBLIO SERVICE' 

 The educational ideals of a people re- 

 flect in no small degree the social, political 

 and industrial conditions of that people 

 and of the nation of which they form a 

 part. This is but natural. Those ideals 

 of education that have prevailed in the 

 past have stood in close relation to the gen- 

 eral progress and development of civiliza- 

 tion, and such ideals have always been, and 

 must always continue to be, in conformity 

 with those vital forces that dominate a na-

 art, its religion, its social and industrial 

 conditions, and its form of government. 



No more striking illustrations of this can 

 be had than in the histories of Greece and 

 Rome. The educational ideals of Greece

 emotional nature which worships the 

 beautiful in both thought and action, and 

 which finds its highest form of expression 

 in literature, art and philosophy — the 

 very essence of Grecian culture. The 

 Roman ideals, on the other hand, were 

 characterized by that rugged element of 

 human strength which emphasizes the prac- 

 tical and reverences the useful. It trained 

 men to frame laws, lead armies, construct 

 aqueducts and public highway's, and made 

 possible that military success and judicial 

 power which have not only commanded the 

 admiration of all times, but have con-

 tion by becoming the bearer of eastern cul- 

 ture to the very confines of Europe.
