The developement of the faculties or germs of power in man , and the training of them into harmonious action in obedience to s r the laws of rea on and morality, is what is comp ehended in the e term ducation . Y e t education not only aims at the developement and culture of the child as an individual , but is also the means by which every rising generation is put in possession of all the attain - ments of preceding generations . In the earliest ages , the entire u n education and cult re of the people were in the ha ds of priests , fi fi m who were the rst founders of institutions , the rst states en , j udges , physicians and astronomers , and it is only in the most highly civiliz ed communities that science has been separated from i n . rel gion , and teachi g made a distinct profession Even in these , a or es le rning and schools are often to a greater l s extent, more or less directly, under the patronage and care of religious bodies , since religion h as been esteemed by all nations the highest interest of society . e On the antiquity of schools it is not n cessary to dilate . We read in Sacred Writ of a “ School of Prophets under the rv . supe ision of the prophet Samuel Passing to later dates , we learn that the early culture of Egyptian s was such that the [ the Greeks derived from them their first lessons in science and philoso- phy, and from them the Israelites obtained the knowledge which “ enabled them to measure and div ide the land . The inscriptions on their monuments also prove an early knowledge of geometry, astronomy, mensuration and surveying in Egypt . fix It is i mpossible to the period when universities , in the fi modern acceptation of the term , were rst established . When Charlemagne ascended the throne of France , we are told that no n of e x n mea s ducation e isted in his domi ions and, in order to t restore in some degree the spirit of letters , he invited s rangers from other countries where l eaming was not so thoroughly extin- u s f g i hed. With the help of these he established schools in dif erent cities of his empire and all the powe r and influence of the court were employed in forwar ding his endeavors . By degrees the light of science began to shine more brightly ; and a r te chers , whose genius enabled them to ise above their w n fello s , and to overstep the arrow bounds to which they had tr r been res icted , a ose in various places , and their lectures were s attended by crowds of admiring listeners . The succe s of one er a fi teach invited others to the s me eld , and the large number of scholars who frequented the school of an admired expounder of o ff am some new or fav rite question , a orded ple room for the exertion of his tal ent and ingenuity . It was in this manner that particular schools obtained a penn a- t s c r nent celebri y, and that those a so iations of teachers we e formed which were afterwards recogniz e d by the civil and e ccl esias tical fi “ i s . power, and ult mately digni ed with the name of Univer ities e The oldest of the European univ rsities , (said to have been founded r m n Paris wh ose n by Chale ag e) was that of , , form and co stitution were in a great measure adopted by the founders of the two great s v x and wi Engli h uni ersities , O ford Cambridge, which till thin the last hal f century were the only universities in Engla nd . c l At a very early date in the history of America, the o onists directed attention to the importance of education .

  • Dawson: Geologist and Educator Dawson’S Interest in Natural History Began Early
    INTRODUCTION Bernard of Chartres, an 11th–12th century philosopher and teacher, said that we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they and for a greater distance, not by any virtue of our own but because we are carried high and raised aloft by their stature. All of us have our geological heroes, those giants on whose shoulders we stand. To encourage recognition of these luminaries and to provide inspiration for students and young professionals, the GSA History of Geology Division presents Rock Stars, brief pro- files of our geological giants.

  • Paleontology1
    PALEONTOLOGY1 Thoreau’s firm grasp of paleontology laid the groundwork for the climax of WALDEN, which describes the emergence of complexity and beauty from the simple flow of muddy sand at the Deep Cut. It also was the taproot of his lifelong frustration with Christian supernaturalists, who insisted on a fairly brief history of life. Paraphrasing Lyell’s PRINCIPLES, he jested [in A WEEK ON THE C ONCORD AND M ERRIMACK R IVERS]: “It took 100 years to prove that fossils are organic, and 150 more, to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.” Not everyone believes this, even today. Modern “young Earth” creationists still insist that the Elizabethan-era Mosaic chronology of Archbishop Ussher is the correct one, and that we twenty-first century scientists are in error. — Professor Robert M.

Off Billingsgate Point CAPE COD I could have touched the bottom with a pole, and I plainly saw it variously shaded with sea-weed, at five or six miles from the shore. This is “The Shoal-ground of the Cape,” it is true, but elsewhere the Bay is not much deeper than a country pond. We are told that the deepest water in the English Channel between Shakespeare’s Cliff and Cape Grinez, in France, is one hundred and eighty feet; and Guyot says that “the Baltic Sea has a depth of only one hundred and twenty feet between the coasts of Germany and those of Sweden,” and “the Adriatic between Venice and Trieste has a depth of only one hundred and thirty feet.” A pond in my native town, only half a mile long, is more than one hundred feet deep. ARNOLD HENRI GUYOT “WALKING”: Where on the Globe can there be found an area of equal extent with that occupied by the bulk of our states, so fertile and so rich and varied in its productions, and at the same time so habitable by the European, as this is? Michaux who knew but part of them, says that “the species of large trees are much more numerous in North America than in Europe: in the United States there are more than 140 species that exceed thirty feet in height; in France there are but thirty that attain this size.” Later botanists more than confirm his observations.
