"I
believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress
and reform. All reforms which rest simply upon the law, or the threatening
of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements,
are transitory and futile.... But through education society can formulate
its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus
shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which
it wishes to move.... Education thus conceived marks the most perfect
and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience."
--John Dewey, My Pedagogic Creed, 1897 |
