By Elmer Ellsworth Brown

Book Overview

Government By Influence And Other Addresses is a book written by Elmer Ellsworth Brown in 1910. The book is a collection of speeches and addresses delivered by Brown during his tenure as the United States Commissioner of Education. The speeches cover a range of topics related to education and the role of government in shaping the educational system of the country. In the book, Brown argues that education is essential for the progress and development of a nation, and that the government has a responsibility to ensure that every citizen has access to quality education. He also emphasizes the importance of vocational education and the need to prepare students for the workforce. One of the key themes of the book is the idea of ""government by influence."" Brown believes that the government should use its influence to encourage and promote education, rather than relying solely on legislation and regulation. He argues that the government can have a greater impact by working with educators, parents, and other stakeholders to create a culture of learning and innovation. Overall, Government By Influence And Other Addresses is a thought-provoking book that offers insights into the history of education in the United States and the challenges faced by educators and policymakers in the early 20th century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education, government policy, and the role of education in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
