Excerpt from Education, Scientific Humane, 1917: A Report of the Proceedings of the Council for Humanistic Studies

Under the shock and stress Of the war, the aims and methods Of education have to be considered anew. This reconsidera tion, in the special conditions of the time, brings with it a risk that we may ignore elements in education vital to the forma tion and maintenance Of national character. A great war in which material means and technical skill are the most Obvious factors in deciding the issue, inclines a nation to prize these to the exclusion Of forces finally even more important; and if in our reforms we fix our eyes only on material ends, we may foster among ourselves that very spirit against which we are fighting to-day.
