Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophy of Education, 1920: A Survey of Fundamentals, Topics, Questions, References and Bibliographies for Group-Discussion A word about the bibliographies may not be out of place here. In compiling both the larger Bibliography at the end of the Syllabus, as well as the shorter lists of selected references preceding each sec tion, my intention has been to include not only those books which are, in a sense, standard and immediately germane to the subject, but also certain more general and less specifically educational readings, the significance of which consists not only in their contact with the sub ject at a given point but also in their value as introductions to closely allied and fundamentally important fields of thought. NO text-book is called for; instead, references to diverse points of view and conflicting evidence are assigned for each Topic, and the class - hour will be given over to a discussion intended to sift from the evidence in question that which is pertinent to the subject and the point of view involved. The student's recitation will consist in his active participation in this class discussion, and every student will be expected to contribute his share. I am glad to express my sincere obligation to Professor William Heard Kilpatrick of Teachers' College, Columbia University, to whom I owe much for both method and inspiration, and it has been my ef fort to approach, in some measure, both the clarity of his thought and the significance of his teaching.
