SOLld1 Oldel 15 ln 1 confused state makes lt necessaxy for the youth of today to be taught to thxnk fox themselves It IS essentlal that they be confronted wlth problems that are xltal and meal We do

that lS IS rlght and any suggestlon of change IS taboo Then when someth1ng does come mto the scene such as the advancement of sclentlfic knowledge and all 1mpl1ed thereby a severe COHHILI ensues between thls 1nert1a of ou1 soclal lDSt1tL1t10l1S of WhlCh the schools are one and the change xn soclety at lalge created by thls new factor We seem to be ln mg m such a perlod of confllct nt the

bellef that part depress1on was due to a feellng on the part of large numbers of people that educa t1on had not been as helpful as lt was assumed lt would be In other words there was some loss of falth 1n educatlon as a means toward successful l1v1ng and we may well ask ourselves to what extent thls reactlon agalnst educatlon was justified by a comparlson of the programs of educatlon offered 1n the schools with the problems that people have to face For example education should among other things develop that degree of economlcs whlch IS necessary to the successful worklng of socxetys economlc proc ess Has lt done th1s' Th1s IS a questlon that many people no doubt have been l11lSlflg ln the1r minds dul mg thls depress1on Educatlon IS supposed to develop enough mtelllgence w1th xegaxd to how people may l1ve peaceably together that war w1ll no longel be necessary Has lt done thls' Educatlon should develop xn people a hlgh degree of the sense of socxal responslblllty We mlght call thus morallty Many people no doubt thought much of the trouble that came upon us dulmg the depxesslon even of an economlc chalacter was due to a lack of thls sense These and many othels are problems which educatxon has to meet and to the extent that lt meets them successfully wlll lt hue the apploval and suppoxt of the people In facmg the necesslty fox educatlonal reconstruction we need to conslder whethel we are workmg thlough a shoxt period of transltlon lnto another perlod of statlc llfe ls thls a transltlon perlod ln that sense or IS lt one WhlCh really means that we are golng 1nto a way of l1fe that w1ll be contmuously changmgq If It IS the lxttel we shall have to develop a system of soclal tenets conslstent wlth the ldea of contmuous reconstxuctlon At th1s pomt It IS necessary that we get rlght down to 1eal1t1es as to whether we bellexe ln democracy For democlacy surely means that we ale to afford the llldlkldlldl maxlmum oppoxtumty for the development of h1s pexsonallty If we leally bellexe that such opportunity should be afforded the ln dnldual and nf we set about to make such oppoxtunlty leal we by lmpllcatlon accept the p1 mclples of contlnuous change and reconstructlon Fon any socxety based on such phllosophy wlll contmually be recelvlng flom gxowmg and developing mdl xlduals new ldeas new mventlons new l1fe Such a soclety w1ll be contmuously 16 created leconstxucted redlrected because xt w1ll be made up of 1nd1v1duals who are contmuously growing and dexelopmg not ll'ldlVldUd1S who have been fitted lnto ruts and nxches Thls lt seems to me IS the meaning of democxacy and 1t IS a mean mg I bellexe that has never been applled comprehenslxely over a long perlod of tlme Are we now gomg to apply lt That lS the questlon If we are not only do we face the problem of educational reconstructlon as a temporary responslblllty but we face lt as an all tune 1espons1b1l1ty Democx icy I bellexe 15 a way of llvmg not a way of slmply exlstlng RACHEL
