Excerpt from Outlines of Pedagogics
Never in the history of education have the educational forces of the world been more on the alert, more inspired with the desire to advance professionally, than to-day. At a time when all society is affected by the progressive and investigative spirit of the age, when sociological and political problems are being viewed in a new, often revolutionary, light, when all classes are becoming interested not merely in the welfare, the preservation of self, but also in the welfare of all humanity, and when, at the same time, certain powerful tendencies are constantly appearing that seem to endanger society, it behoves the educator not only to be progressive, but to ask himself whether his work is placing that stamp upon humanity which will make human individuals trustworthy reformers, leaders, thinkers, voters. He has been busy during the last century in raising the intellectual standard of all classes, in placing knowledge and power in the hands of the low as well as the high; it now belongs to his office to reflect as to what kind of weapons this knowledge and this power are to become.
