To the person fully alive, the future is not ominous but a promise; it surrounds the present like a halo. | |

Lost Anything Lately?

What avail is it to win prescribed amounts of information about geography and history, to win ability to read and write, if in the process the individual loses his own soul: loses the appreciation of things worth while, of the value to which these things are relative; if he loses desire to apply what he has learned and, above all, loses the ability to extract meaning from his future experiences as they occur? | |

What Counts In The Future

Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing he is studying at the time. Collateral learning in the way of formation of attitudes, of likes and dislikes, may be and often is much more important than the spelling lesson or lesson in geography or history that is learned. For these attitudes are fundamentally what count in the future. The most important attitude that can be formed is that of the desire to go on learning. | |

Every thinker puts some portion of an apparently stable world in peril, and no one can wholly predict what will emerge in its place. | |
