Excerpt from Changing Conceptions of Education
The institution of education does not escape the full force of the principle suggested. Indeed, educational conditions are such in America to day that one might be disposed to say that this principle has a special and peculiar applicability to the problem of school reform; at least, there is no institution where a rational use of institutional experience could effect more good.

Excerpt from Changing Conceptions of Education
The proper means for reconstructing our social institutions are best suggested by a careful accumulation and analysis of our institutional experiences. In every work of political and social reform we are more or less conscious of the past failures and successes of our instruments. But such consciousness is not altogether deliberate and thorough. With communities as with individuals, much is forgotten or neglected; while other fragments of our past, emphasized beyond their true importance, influence us unduly. Thus many of our social advances are gained through a radicalism that has finally to be tempered by the work of the reactionary. Such progress, the product of conflict and partisanship, is costly. It arises out of an imperfect mode of bringing our experiences to bear upon our problems.
