Excerpt from The Project Method in Education

Modern education attempts to direct the child's development in such a way that the child will be a worthy participant of the institutional life of society; at the same time, an attempt is made to develop the particular abilities of each child, since institutional progress is dependent upon individual initiative. Rapid evolutionary changes in society have emphasized the need of reevaluating and of reorganizing subject matter.

During the World War the children of the schools were called upon to assist in numerous ways. An unusual opportunity was presented of motivating the school work through out-of-school activities. The effects were no less marked upon the teachers than upon the pupils. They were inspired by the field of usefulness that was opened to them. Teachers, everywhere, now that the war is ended, are not satisfied to go back to the bookish, theoretical education of former days, but there is considerable uncertainty as to how the work can be motivated through the out-of-school activities of ordinary times. Other institutions, during the war, needed the cooperation of the schools; the schools now keenly need the assistance of other institutions. The problem can be solved if teachers will make use of the various activities and materials of society. The chasm that has encircled the school, separating it from out-of-school activities, forever should be blotted out. The teacher needs to be a practical man or woman, who can make use of the present in educating the child.
