ABSTRACT

The only guarantee of adequate rational flexibility is intellectual freedom controlled by social responsibility. We have to recognize that such freedom will produce manifestations of unsound criticism. Education as a worldwide partnership of eager minds is theoretically plausible. Education is an activity as engineering or manufacturing are activities. It is the application of methods to raw materials to produce planned results. The majority of people think of education as a routine for teaching young persons to read and count. The idea of teaching them to think has an uneasy suggestion of the subversive about it. Even higher education is popularly looked upon as either a vocational advantage or a pleasant reverie over the provincial and dead cultures of the past. Education is an instrument of survival. It is man’s attempt to keep individuals up to date with their world, to make individuals adequate to living in and dealing with their environment.
