Description

Excerpt from The Pedagogical Seminary, Vol. 18: A Quarterly International Record of Educational Literature Institutions and Progress; 1911

It is on the outlook for research in this country that I wish to direct your attention. You must know that in spite of the splendid provision for research that is so marked a feature of this country, there is much misgiving as to the future. In deed no one can fail to be impressed with the striking contrast that is presented between the prevailing pessimism with re gard to culture and the prevailing optimism with regard to ma terial advancement. If we put aside the jibes Of those who speak as if success in anything Obtained by honorable means could be a proper subject for a sneer, we find little serious criticism of our business methods (apart from the moral issues that they raise). When our visitors have gotten over their first surprise at the height of our buildings and the size of the headlines in our newspapers, then, if the music Of praise be in them at all they point to our wonderful material successes and sing pzeans over our time-saving devices and other evidences Of our skill in practical affairs. Soon, however, they begin to shake their heads (and too Often we shake ours in stupid unison) over the outlook on the side of culture. They say that we cannot create literature, or advance science, or paint pictures.
