ABSTRACT

Knowledge of conditions and consequence is necessary for the directing of education. Education is the fitting of people, young and old, for the responsibilities and opportunities of that citizenship. Education by the government is radically sound in principle. Inequality of educational opportunity does not conduce to the inculcation of a zest for equality. The control of education, its planning and basic administration should be in the hands of the world-state. Education is, and must be, an activity carried on by a social group. All women and children and men may become intelligent, loyal members of a single social group. And it is for that group that teaching should be done. Teaching itself should be intelligent and loyal. It should recognize that the will to reasonableness has critical authority over all individuals and all groups which are found in the ranks of humanity.
