ABSTRACT

The literary extracts are quoted in order to translate into concrete terms the broad abstract phrases of the educational values or objectives. It may be argued that a society which maintains a general level of civilized values will naturally throw up appropriate leaders, and the experience of carrying increasing responsibility during promotion will, in a vigilant community, provide such additional training as is needed beyond full-time education. Special attention should be given to the moral and intellectual education of the ablest 20 per cent of the population, that is, to pupils in sixth forms of public and grammar schools and students in higher education. This chapter reviews the relations of the some values to those of our national tradition, to the social changes, and to some traditional formulations of educational aims. The relations include good personal relationships, creative initiative in a group setting, a sense of public duty, co-operation with superior authorities, adult learning, personal sense of duty, and integrity.
