Francisco Ferrer; his life, work and martyrdom, with message written ...

—
26 Francisco Ferrer,
faith I hold in the fruits of education in achieving the
emancipation of the conscience—a work to which I dedicate
my fortune, my time, and my whole life— I could
dedicate myself to any other task. I am a man full of
passion. Wherever I place myself, I put the whole of my
being—and I give it all to educational work for the people,
because it is from education that I hope everything."
This singular document, in accord with all we know of
the opinions of Ferrer in every accessible writing to
which his hand and heart were set— this manifesto in
which the whole soul of Ferrer cried out its passionate
paean of praise of education— is dated from the Carcel
Modelo, at Madrid, November, 1906. But it is more
than a "profession of faith" ; it is a revelation of the
man in all his unquenchable idealism, his enthusiastic
optimism, and his boundless faith in human nature.
