Excerpt from Modern American Speeches: Edited With Notes and Introductions Many times during his work as a teacher of English, the editor has felt that it would be desirable to pre sent to high school pupils some speeches by American authors on subjects of our own day. He does not believe that the older classics have no message for the coming generation, nor does he believe that the later writings are too new or too poor in quality for the instruction and inspiration of our youth. If a science text-book should present the principles of the gas engine and the aeroplane, why should not a literature text offer equally modern material? Such an innova tion has been made in poetry; and the effect of Poetry of the People on classes encourages the editor to attempt a similar innovation in prose. This book, therefore, presents four selections from authors who are living at the present time or who have died recently, on subjects of vital importance to Americans of to-day and to-morrow. Carl Schurz's True Americanism, although the speech was delivered in 1858, nevertheless has present interest because it was far in advance of its time and foreshadowed some principles of twentieth century government. The New South brings now the the same appeal that Henry W. Grady carried to the North in 1886 for a better understanding of the South. John Hay discusses the peace question in a practical way in America's Love of Peace. Although he feels strongly the obstacles in the way of international peace, yet he recites the advances made by the move ment and looks to its ultimate success. Elihu Root shows us in The pan-american Spirit a specific step toward international friendliness. The cumu lative effect of these four selections reveals an Ameri can ideal developed within our nation and reaching out to influence the world.
