- The mirror MR. T. D. FOX Purdue University University of Chicago Principal and Science Since the opening of the twentieth century, the evolution of our social order has been proceeding with great and ever-accelerating rapidity. Simple conditions have been growing complex. Small institutions have been grow- ing large. Increased specialization has brought about the need of co-ordinat- ing effort. Never before have civilization and humanization advanced so swiftly. As the world presses eagerly forward toward the accomplishment of new things, education also must advance no less swiftly. Education must take a pace set, not by itself, but by social progress. Our present school program has grown and developed from what it was a few years past. W e have tried to build our curriculum so that edu- cation would be more than a mere memorization of verbal statements of facts; that it might be the developing of a type of wisdom that can grow only out of participation in the living experiences of men. Our aims are to train every child, not for knowledge about citizenship, but for proficiency in citizenship; not for knowledge about hygiene, but for proficiency in main- taining robust health ; not for a mere knowledge of abstract science, but for proficiency in the use of ideas in the control of practical situations. W ' e realize the responsibility of such a task, but believe the results will justify our efforts. Pnnp i i nil t + — +
