Excerpt from Project Work in Education
The life of man is a practical thing, not in any narrow material or utilitarian sense, but in the broadest spiritual meaning of practicality. His life is finally measured in terms of action or influence on action. His sensibilities and attitudes, his aversions and enthusiasms, gain their ultimate worth through the deeds to which they commit him. His intellectual life is merely academic or powerfully dynamic just to the extent that his thoughts and their arrangements accurately represent the realities with which his technique of life deals. The process of education, therefore, is and ought to be highly concerned with bringing his emotional and intellectual training into correct relation with his technique of working and living.
The wise educationist has perceived that this view of education and life is bound to reconstruct his conception of the means of giving educative experiences. He realizes that the subjects which constitute the traditional courses of study are more or less isolated treatments of the real world whereby knowledge is resolved into separate parts by artificial though logical boundaries.
