Synopsis
Excerpt from What the War Teaches About Education: And Other Papers and Addresses
The war has been the proving stage of two colossal experiments in education. The first began some forty years ago in Germany at the time that her autocratic government initiated its plans for the subjugation of the world. That experiment is the most remarkable demonstration of the power of teaching in the history of men. The second was the colossal undertaking in which the United States, profiting by the errors and successes of France and England, trained and equipped a huge citizen army and within a twelvemonth of the induction of its soldiers transported them to France and with them had begun the battles which brought about the destruction of the enemy. That is the most convincing proof of the possibilities of specific intensive instruction which the world has yet seen.
Both experiments magnify purposeful training. In Germany the ritualistic instruction in the so-called liberal arts, which we formerly relied upon to produce citizens of humanity and culture, went on side by side with an intense pounding in of patriotism. It did little to check the momentum which that purposive indoctrination attained.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In an era marred by the horrors of war, this book emerges as a clarion call to re-examine our commitment to the ideals of education amidst the chaos. The author believes that education is central to the vitality of our societies, and must shift away from rote learning toward a focus on purpose and practical application. Although published during the First World War, the text remains strikingly relevant today, offering a timeless perspective on the role of education in fostering a just and humane world. It challenges us to question the conventional wisdom that education is solely for the sake of knowledge, arguing instead that it should equip individuals with the tools to confront life's challenges and contribute to the betterment of society. Throughout, the author emphasizes the importance of shaping education to reflect the values and aspirations of the larger community. By examining the philosophical underpinnings of education and exploring real-world examples, this book provides fresh insights on how education can empower citizens to address complex social issues and build a better future.
