"The world should not be pre- : . sented to students as happily e standarized but as urgently de- % manding readjustment." - James I. Harvey Robinson. e j e ! "Education ought to be largely : devoted to the issues upon which the young as they grow up should : 3 be in a position to form an intelligent opinion. They should un- s derstand that scientific advance s has greatly altered, and promises - still further to alter our environ- t. ment a,nd our notions of our- s salves and possibly the expediency e j of existing moral, social and in- j dustrial standards."-Robinson, |
