What America needs today is a definition of what it seeks from education. Because we have never paused to define out goals we have moved from one nostrum to another. The easier the method of solution, the quicker the public ac- ceptance. This, despite the fact that we have been warned that there is no royal road to learn- ing. And yet we gullibly give credence to ideas that guidance counselors will map our future, learning machines will make for easy acquisition of knowledge, and testing will reveal our caf pacities. Despite all the clamor of interest groups and super-salesmen in education, man must still struggle to attain worthy ends. Victory goes to those that labor at their assigned tasks. Past civilizations have perished because they have sought the easy road. There is still no substitu- tion for honest toil. Education is still a matter of basically disciplining the individual to meet the high challenge of living within the decent bounds of society. Anything less than this is anarchy. And anarchy is the antithesis of de- mocracy. Iefferson clearly saw the need for ed- ucation in a society such as ours. But his con- cept embraced a scheme of education which em- braced those who were mentally able and actually desirous of better understanding their cultural past. But this takes labor -- the labor of those who would be leaders -- leaders for a democratic society. This is not an easy road, nor is it a road for all. Thou weft my guide, philosopher, and friend. ALEXANDER POPE. We are living in the Atomic Age . To some, this indicates futility - a hopeless race between civilization and suicide. To others, it signifies the maddening complexity of modern life - the noise, the speed, the pressures which drive some people to distraction and many people to various types of escapism. The truly educated person must reject both fatalism and escapism. Instead, he must develop a wholesome personal philosophy to give direction and meaning to his own life. He must have faith - something in which to believe. He must have hopes, ideals, moral purposes beyond himself - so that he may live and work for others and not just for himself. Also, the educated person must recognize that knowledge can be used for good, for human betterment. He must accept the be- lief that whatever problems man has created, he can also solve. If education can accept this forward-look- ing, positive viewpoint, if the educated man is willing to employ his knowledge for human betterment instead of personal gain and pleasure, then the Atomic Agef' may become the golden age of human history. 8
