- Summary:
- "The World War shook to the foundations our faith in many things, but it did not shake the faith of the nations in education. In this connection it is significant to note that, following the war, the leading nations at once set about reforming their educational systems. America set about putting more democracy into education. "The war has come and gone, but our faith in education abides. This faith has even been intensified by the war. We still believe that the world must be made safe for democracy, but we do not talk about it so much any more, and we do not expect the job to be done all at once. We now look to education to accomplish the result which political agencies have failed to bring about. The so-called "new education" is mainly a set of emphases on certain phases of the theory and practice of educationists from Socrates to Dewey, together with the attempt of numerous experimental schools in many countries to do "creative" educational work. The novelty in the new education is not so much the theory as the practice. In such a time of educational and social change it is well to appreciate the relation of the new to the old and to emphasize the fixities and the verities. This, however, is not the popular and easy thing to do; educationally speaking, just now it is rowing upstream. Herewith we submit some studies in the three great fields of education, morality, and religion. The thread of philosophy running through all the discussion is that of personal idealism; that is, the philosophy which finds both the reality and the values of life in the experience of persons who feel themselves not orphans, but at home in a purposeful universe"--Preface.
