PHILUSOPHY Inspired by Petalozzi's work, Johann Herbart, founder of one of the first colleges for teacher training, attempted to clarify the prob lems of education. His valuable research in psychology is based on such principles as respect for individuality and encouragement of free expression. Froebel, whose work was closely related to that of Petalozzi and Herbart, also tried to formulate a system of teaching from the existing mass of philosophical and psychological knowledge. Although he is associated with education of the pre-school child his findings hold implications for all phases of education. But the best known name in educational thought is John Dewey, often called the godfather of modern education. Dewey looked upon education as a social process which cannot be separated from the character and responsibilities of society. He identifies education with life instead of regarding it as just another of its facets and considers the satisfaction and happiness of the individual and the fostering of civilization as the two main ends of education. Sifflkvlkakfkvllfiffllfifilf Talk about Philosophies of Education is, to many, just part of the mass of jargon for which the teaching profession is often ridiculed and criticized. And this criticism is just, to the extent that Philosophies of Education are allowed to remain in the abstract without being pinned down to the realities of life. It is not enough to passively accept as an abstraction the basic principle which is common to all of the foregoing philosophers. This basic principle, regard for the individual and his rights, must be wielded consciously by teachers as a weapon against its antithesis of totalitarian education. It must be wielded in the cause of the defense of liberty against usurped authority, of justice against oppression, of the common welfare against exploitation. It must be applied to all of the problems that confront us- as we try to prove that Democracy is right. 71
