Wealth and Education
In State of Tennessee

in the absence OF all education, wealth,
wealth producing power, the public
welfare and private veal vanish.
Try It, Imagine yourself wizard
all the world with which the state
comes into contact and has relations,
ana bring down on the heads OF the
people mist and darkness, causing
the engineer to forget his mathemau-
cal formula, the chemist TO forget his
chemistry, the lawyer to forget his law,
the physician TO forget his medicines,
tho banker and business man to for
get the art OF counting and accounting,
the farmer to forget all hts knowledge
OF agriculture discovered and trans
mitted, the housewife and the home
maker TO forget all that has been trans
mitted TO her OF the knowledge OF
home making, the preparation of food.
the care OF the health and training OF
little children. Their minds and souls
are washed clean OF the knowledge and
discipline we call education, and the
habits and skin accompanying them are
gone, Now watch what takes place,
The trains ON the railroad cease TO
run; they stand until they molder and
rust into dust The wheels of all the
factories cease TO turn, All industries
fall into decay and are forgotten. There
Is no delivery OF mails. Books ana
newspapers ARE no longer printed or
read Nobody reads or writes any
more our accumulated stocks ot goods
are used up. The natural resources lie
undeveloped. Famine and pesttlence
walk abroad unhndered Regardless
OF native ability, the people are re.
duced TO their primitive condition OF
poverty. superstition, saNagery and
helplcssuess. what Is now the value
OF W? what is the wealth? What "
the wealth producing power? what Is
the public welfare and the private IN
dividual veal and happiness Of the
people? what Is the product OF any
group Of factors OF which one II zero?
The formula holds. All wisdom ana
all possibility and hope OF increasing
permanently the sum total of the
wealth and wealth producing power OF
the people, tho public welfare ana the
Individual happiness consists In and de-
ponds on our making provision for the
more geRerous and better education OF
the people.
And since, through the values OF the
other two factors in the formula, the
returns on the money invested In edu-
cation are far greater than the amount
OF the Investment. we can AFFORD TO
limit our appropriations for education
only by the amount necessary TO make
our schools as good as they can be
made and give to all the fullest and
freest opportunity for sound and prac-
teal education
DO we do it,
Shall We do III
