At present, everywhere in the civilized world, we educate to promote intelligence, to promote industry, to ensure progress. It is not merely a question of promoting what the psy- choanalysts call reality adaptationg it is to the reality of a competitive and divided society that, by existing processes of education, we seek to adapt our children. The agressive in- stincts have a wonderful opportunity to dis- charge themselves, but it is against other chil- dren, in a ruthless struggle for places, for ex- amination results, for class promotion. We educate to classify - that is to say, to divide - and all our efforts are expended in the cul- tivation of distinctions. I believe there are two principles that should determine the aims of education ,... The first principle I would express as: Educate with reference to things. The second as: Edu- cate to unite, not to divide. T if iiii iiii T if iliierhertilfleadil from The Redemption ofthe Robot Trident Press, publisher Copyright 1966 by Pocket Book Inc.
