From the Preface. When a fire-torn structure is about to fall in ruins, and some one says to the crowd, Look! that crack in the wall is getting wider!

From the Preface. When a fire-torn structure is about to fall in ruins, and some one says to the crowd, Look! that crack in the wall is getting wider! The beams on this side are all burned away, and it will fall in a minute. Stand clear! " -- his remarks might perhaps be termed a criticism of an old institution.

We must be ready to face the most startling restatement of its purposes, the most ruthless revaluation of its methods. This book is a brief resume of the situation in the light of these discoveries. It attempts to show how the present school system became what it is, and why it is now in the throes of revolutionary change. It analyses the current conceptions upon which the existing system is based, and shows why these conceptions are inadequate to sustain the burden which education is called upon by twentieth century civilization to bear. It centres attention upon the two things which constitute, in their juxtaposition, the essential problems of education -- namely, the nature of modern life and the nature of the child....
