Seite 11 - What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all of its children. Any other ideal for our schools is narrow and unlovely; acted upon, it destroys our democracy.
Seite 33 - We sometimes hear the introduction of manual training, art, and science into the elementary, and even the secondary, schools deprecated on the ground that they tend toward the production of specialists — that they detract from our present scheme of generous, liberal culture.

Seite 35 - The obvious fact is that our social life has undergone a thorough and radical change. If our education is to have any meaning for life, it must pass through an equally complete transformation.
Seite 35 - The introduction of active occupations, of nature study, of elementary science, of art, of history ; the relegation of the merely symbolic and formal to a secondary position ; the change in the moral school atmosphere, in the relation of pupils and teachers — of discipline ; the introduction of more active, expressive, and self-directing factors — all these are not mere accidents, they are necessities of the larger social evolution.
Seite 12 - ... of the school, at the disposal of its future members. All its better thoughts of itself it hopes to realize through the new possibilities thus opened to its future self. Here individualism and socialism are at one. Only by being true to the full growth of all the individuals who make it up, can 19 society by any chance be true to itself.
Seite 36 - To do this means to make each one of our schools an embryonic community life, active with types of occupations that reflect the life of the larger society, and permeated throughout with the spirit of art, history, and science.
