Dr. Starbuck Gives a Splendid Address HE occasion of the turning of the turf for the new building of the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college on the north shore campus last Saturday, was marked by a very fine address given by Dr. Edwin D. Starbuck of the University of Iowa. Dr. Starbuck showed the evolution of the ideal of human progress to the present point, where we see that this progress can only come through edu- cation. In speaking of the breaking of the ground Dr. Starbuck said, "This is a significant occasion in the life of America and of humanity. It is the kindergarten that must reconstruct the educational program of the whole world. It is the finest thing in our edu- cational system. "Only the human race has had the courage and determination to move on, out of the slush and slime, out of the animality of our existence until in the fullness of time we have come to live by and for ideas and ideals. We have made discovery after discovery, con- quest after conquest, seeing every significant thing excepting the one-- the key to progress. "Stumbling, groping in the dark, we have come upon the knowledge that our line of progress must ever follow the laws of eugenics. We are coming to the time when no person shall be a breeder of humanity who is not healthy in mind and body. "But now we have come upon a greater idea--that human progress can only come through human education. The first discovery of it was the con- viction that education belonged to adults--to grown people who never change their ideas. Gradually it filtered down and we tried it on the youth, but during the last century we got the idea that we must begin the uplift of hu- manity through beginning with the chil- dren even before they are born, and then proceeding through the months and years of early infancy. This is the key to progress. "It is the comedy of American edu- cation that we still imagine that edu- cation has to begin for children after they have moved far along the path, after they have acquired bad habits of mind and body, and the kindergarten has got to set right the life of America in that respect. "We are struggling toward perfec- tion and students of human life show clearly that the mental, moral and physical perfection of the child is the ~-- FOR 50 YEARS THE STANDARD OF QUALITY incarnation of the dream toward which we are reaching. In too many instances the growth from childhood to man- hood is an amazing process of de- generation. Not only are we to recog- nize these facts but--and this is what the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college exists for--we are to fight the perils. The College can be the director of human life because it has access to life at its very beginning when it is fresh and fine and free. "You must be the leaders now on this campus of the educational life of America. You are moving out here to carry on better than you ever have be- fore the best thought, the highest skill, in the solving of this, the finest of human problems. With the aid of your equipment and surroundings and of science, what can't you do. You are getting a leverage on the world by the power and help of science, and this occasion stands for a higher departure in education."
