WE

Address at the Funeral of Doctor Harris

E PAY, in this service, the last rites of affection and honor to one who was the acknowledged leader of public school education in the United States. If we can forecast the estimates of future historians, we may believe that he belongs to the history of his country and to the larger history of human enlightenment.

At such a time, the sorrow of personal loss is overshadowed by the solemnity which attends the close of a great career. We think of the days to come in which the leader will not meet us familiarly; in which we shall often miss him with a sudden pang. And we know that in those days we shall see the man become an historic character, with mellow tradition gathering like autumn haze about him, with his strength disentangled from common individual circumstance and entering more and more into the wide sweep of that influence which makes for human good.

We shall say to the younger men who are coming on: "Yes, we knew him. He spoke with us thus and so. He was different from other men in this trait and in that, in motions, habitudes, and the words that he employed." Then we shall recall the time when some sharp discussion roused him from the calm of academic exposition and he became in a moment transformed into the powerful debater, with twenty centuries of philosophic thought at his command.

Those who were of his earlier acquaintance will dwell upon his days at St. Louis, when it was given to him, as a schoolmaster and superintendent of schools, to make of that town in the new west one of the known centers for the cultivation of a profound and recondite philosophy. It was an achievement which was not forgotten in the year 1904, when the Congress of Arts and Science brought together in St. Louis one of the most distinguished assemblages of scholars that have been convened in modern times. But a greater thing that his service in public education helped to bring about is the conviction, now widely shared among our people, that the little schools and the largest ideas belong to

gether and are not to be put asunder.

Many a time in the coming years we shall talk over these things as we meet together, here and there, with a feeling that we, too, have acquaintance among the giants of an earlier day; with a feeling, too, that there is still going forward in our civilization a trend, a consecration, a devotion to high thought regardless of its price, which bears lineaments laid upon it by this one man, our associate and friend.

Most of all, a friend. He was a maker of friends upon his own high levels: not by crowds, but by ones and twos, continually, until they numbered a great company. One time when I went to see him in his own home I found him deeply engaged with a young colored man, a teacher in the common schools. To this man, as to any other who came to him for help in the study of deep subjects, he gave himself unsparingly. Another time I recall, years earlier, when, in a strange town, he agreed to meet at the luncheon hour, a group of teachers and principals of the common schools. Misled by directions ignorantly or carelessly given, he came to the meeting-place long after the appointed time, so long that many another would have given over the attempt to reach it. Then, finding the guests still awaiting him, in spite of weariness and discomfort, he gave himself to their company with an almost boyish friendliness and frankness, that saved the day for his hosts and made it memorable for all who were gathered there.

Friend of common men and friend of God, there was something religious in his brotherliness, even in the days when he was farthest removed from alliance with historic religion. As he went on in his life of reflection and research, both the institutions and the central teachings of Christianity appealed to him with greater force. He joined more frequently with his fellow men in common worship, and became more deeply absorbed in the writings of the Christian fathers. Our friend, revered and beloved in this life, we look upon him now as entered into new fellowship with the church universal, while on our part we mourn him with a sense of unspeakable loss.

Resolutions on the Death of Dr. Harris*

bereas, the announcement is made in the public press of the death of William Torrey Harris; and

Tbereas, as a successful school teacher, an efficient principal, a superintendent whose term of office marks an epoch in the administration of the school systems of our great cities; a Commissioner of Education whose influence was as broad as the land; a profound and accomplished student and expounder of philosophy and education; an active and efficient worker in behalf of social and economic reform; an editor who labored to improve the quality of school-books, to make the literature of educational theory and practice accessible to all, to popularize the results of scholarship and scientific investigation; an author who strove to make plain the principles of the philosophy which seemed to him to comprise the fundamental verities of life and to expound the truths of psychology which serve as a basis for educational practice,Dr. Harris rendered services which were varied in nature, distinguished in character, and lasting in results; and

Whereas, as a man, whose intellectual integrity was never sacrificed, whose standards of action were never lowered, whose sympathy was never restricted; whose encouragement and support, in particular, of the younger members of his profession was never failing, Dr. Harris manifested the highest qualities of character; and

Whereas, by reason of his great services and his noble life Dr. Harris had gained universal recognition as one of the foremost figures in his generation in the field of public education in America; Therefore be it

Resolved, that the superintendent and principals of the Chicago public schools in behalf of all connected with those schools in any capacity, record their appreciation of the great work accomplished by Dr. Harris in his life and their profound sense of loss occasioned by his death.
