A narrow and moralistic view of morals is responsible for the failure to recognize that all the aims and values which are desirable in
education
are themselves moral. Discipline, natural development, culture, social efficiency, are moral traits—marks of a person who is a worthy member of that society which it is the business of
education
to further.

education
is not an affair of "telling" and being told, but an active and constructive process, is a principle almost as generally violated in practice as conceded in theory.

There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract. The notion that some subjects and methods and that acquaintance with certain facts and truths possess educational value in and of themselves is the reason why traditional
education
reduced the material of
education
so largely to a diet of predigested materials.
