Harry Preble Swett To the Graduates of the lour Year History Curriculum Universal education was a great concept of the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century many are wondering whether the results have been commensurate with the insight. Like another great nineteenth century idea, progress, education has been left too much to itself. Literacy is often used as a test of education, but ability to read may mean an easy opportunity for propagandists. A diploma may indicate four years of idleness. Another achievement of the nineteenth century was the realization of the importance of values for all intellectual life. Here is a hint for education. There are two attitudes towards values. According to one attitude values are only human; according to the other they arc related to the superhuman universe. Education is a value. It is subject to the same twofold discussion. Education, civilization itself, will never become permanently great until it is supported by a philosophy which recognizes the higher values as significant not only for human beings but also for the universe.
