Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Evolution Let us now consider the means employed by nature to realize her scholastic aim. The word mans, as applied to education, denotes the material and psychical instruments employed in the production of educational results. Unless we confine ourselves in this dis cussion, however, to the material objects employed, we shall confuse the means of natural education with its methods. The means of natural education, then, are the physical and social environment. This, to be sure, in the proper sense of the word, is no means at all. Nevertheless we may say that it is by the impinging forces. Of the environment acting upon the organism that nature produces all her results. She has no school but the world, no teacher but experience. The ab surdity of following nature, in any literal sense, in the work of the school is here most conspicuously presented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Educational Theory The first and the most natural consequence of a historical survey of philosophic thought is to induce despair of philosophy. It presents us with the spectacle of the human mind endeavouring to understand the central facts of experience, and failing, in every age and every country, to give an indisputable or final explanation of any one of them. The only reward of historical research in this department seems to be a collection of inconclusive and mutually inconsistent opinions Inﬂated into theories of a reality which exceeds mans utmost powers to comprehend.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the American College Intermediate education began at seven, when the boy was registered as a prospective citizen and began to go to school. The school houses were public property and were rented to the schoolmasters, of whom there were two; one for gymnastic, and the other for music; and to both the pupil went every day. Higher education began at about fourteen, and continued until the young man reached his majority. During this period the elegant gym nastic of the preceding period was continued, and was supplemented by athletic and military training.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Educational Ideal With the passing away of tribal life the old simplicity was lost, and customs and habits became more complex. But the primitive mind, so long subjected to the authority of the tribal leader, failed to respond to the opportunity for greater individual develop ment, and became an inert mass, blindly and dully obeying the dictates of a despotic ruler. The birthplace of human history was in the East. The march of progress has been toward the West. New and higher forms of civiliza tion enlarged the content of the educational ideal. The old order changeth, yielding place to new, said King Arthur to his sor rowing knight, and so it is with the old ideals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Industrial Evolution During the nineteenth century, greater changes in manufacture, commerce and agriculture took place than during the preceding ten centuries. The military basis of civilization was hastily swept away, and replaced by industrial foundations. New classes of people and new economic interests arose, and old ones disappeared or sank in relative importance. Manners, customs and ways of living were trans formed. The ends of the earth were drawn into vital contact; the continents were moored side by side. In a word, social and industrial life was revolutionized. The qualities which count for na tional success and grandeur are no longer purely warlike or artistic; industrial capacity and skill now become absolutely essential. The warrior bows.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book in the Principles of Education IN the following pages I have endeavored to present in a systematic way the outlines of a theory of education from the point of view of evolution. The evolutionary conception has been applied to educational theory more or less consistently by all writers on the subject since the time of Froebel. The development of more and more scientific knowledge in regard to the history of life, of mind, and of society has, however, made possible constant reconstruction of the general princi ples, in terms of which the process of evolution through edu cation is to be conceived. I have tried to draw into a unified scheme what seem to me the essential features of current thought on this subject today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Social Progress Holding in mind, then, the conception of a developing social group, we may describe the social evolutionary process which results primarily in the education of the social group, in the same manner that was employed in outlining the development of the individual. The process of group development, like that of individual development, may be divided into natural or genetic, and artificial or telic evolution. The natural evolution of the social group, so far as it is progressive, has resulted from the operation of external causes, or from the activities of the members of the group undirected towards a social end. Natural social evolution is a resultant of the reactions of the group upon its environment, and the activities of its members directed towards the satisfaction of their desires without thought of the effect of these activities upon social develop ment. It is wholly unintended. Looking back at the his torical development of society, for instance, we can see that social progress has sometimes been achieved without its being aimed at by anybody. This phase of the development of a social group corresponds exactly to the natural development of the biological organism. It is the education which Nature gives to the social group thru its unconscious experience with its obj ective'and subjective environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of a Democratic School System It is probable that at the close of the great emergency in which we now find ourselves this nation will undergo a notable reappraisal and a considerable reconstruction. A nation seldom makes large sacrifices for the maintenance of its ideals without becoming sensitive to practices which fall far short of them. Already we are deeply concerned to know just what qualities of personal character and precisely what kinds of human relationships are fundamental to the realization of a truly democratic life. We are asking whether or not we possess these in adequate degree, and how we are to overcome our discrepancies. The American cannot long ask himself these questions without ultimately looking to the public school system for ways and means of rebuilding our national character and life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Massachusetts Public School System a Historical Sketch By common consent the teachers of the United States would choose Massachusetts as the State possessing the most interesting educational history. Even though each teacher should express his first preference for his own State, there would be found great unanimity in the second choice. Upon close examination it appears to the student of education that each State has something unique, some phase of development better represented than can be found elsewhere. In the history of education, as in that of other provinces, it is not merely the invention of good methods that profits us, but the discovery of the bad effects that follow from the use of methods not good. The demonstration of the evils incident to a certain course of study or practice in school administration is a permanent contribution to the science of pedagogy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution, Vol. 3: A Journal of Nature; June, 1930 Yet it is a very plain and elementary truth that the life, the fortune, and the happiness of every one of us, and, more or less, of those who are connected with us, do depend upon our knowing something of the rules of a game infinitely more difficult and com plicated than chess. It is a game which has been played for untold ages, every man and woman of us being one of the two players in a game of his or her own. The chess-board is the world, the pieces the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never over looks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance. To the man who plays well, the highest stakes are paid, with that sort of over ﬂowing generosity with which the strong shows de light in strength. And one who plays ill is check mated - without haste, but without remorse. Well, what I mean by Education is learning the rules of this mighty game. In other words, educa tion is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of nature, under which name I include not merely things and their forces, but men and their ways; and the fashioning of the affections and of the will into an earnest and loving desire to move in harmony with those laws. For me, education means neither more nor less than this. Anything which professes to call itself education must be tried by this stand ard, and if it fails to stand the test, I will not call it education, whatever may be the force of author ity or of numbers upon the other side.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Life: Or Universalizing the Individual In a treatise intended as a critical examination of formal education, and of its bearing on the intelligent and moral life, it will not be out of place to begin by defining the limits within which such an investigation should be restricted. The scientific method, whether applied within the physical or the mental domain, demands that fundamental laws should be discovered and established from the analysis and explanation of verified facts. Avoiding, therefore, theoretical speculation on the one hand, and the weighing of conflicting opinions on the other, we shall endeavor to set forth the facts which our subject involves, and to investigate the rational ground for the organization of education into a science of life. An examination of the history of education in its progress towards an exact science will show that it has adopted the following assumptions as working hypotheses: 1st. The science of education postulates a supreme value to self-conscious or spiritual life. 2nd. While claiming this supreme value for life, the science must further show that life involves a development toward perfection, which is attainable through effort. 3rd. Again, our science postulates that this effort may not lead toward a life of perfection. It recognizes both perfection and imperfection as possible results from the experiences of life, and affirms the perfect life to be desirable.
