AMERICAN schools have, as a matter of fact, 

 failed to train the great mass of the children for 

 successful earning of a livelihood in the American 

 world oj to-day, and at the same time they have failed, 

 for the most part, to inspire the children with the 

 tastes, ambitions, and aspirations which would guide 

 them to a sensible and enjoyable use of their leisure. 

 — Dr. Charles W. Eliot.
