Excerpt from book: IV WHY STUDY HISTORY? The citizen of the modern state has, as his chief occupation, the getting of a living. He finds himself, however, a member of a very complex society, to the operations of which he is supposed to give a certain amount of time and energy apart from that demanded for his vocation. He has his assigned role in the social drama; but on the modern stage of democracy he is in effect also obliged to assist in deciding on the composition of the play and in dictating the conditions and methods of its performance. The royal rulers of the past, if they were wise, gave painstaking and sometimes fierce attention to the education of the princes who were to succeed to the responsibilities of governing. Modern democracies do not ignore the need of educating those who have final authority in government - namely, votingcitizens; but available evidence seems to indicate that they are far from having developed scientific programs for such education. The public school everywhere makes possible, indeed, the ready diffusion of information. Reading, writing, and familiarity with books, together with the ready availability of cheap printed matter, have developed on an extensive scale the possibilities of collective and fluent, even though superficial and unstable, thinking. But there is as yet scant training and instruction in public schools (and hardly more in private schools) that is purposeful and scientific to the end of forming right social habits, of evoking useful social ideals, or of fixing serviceable social knowledge. These important educational purposes are as yet served largely by extra-school agencies such as the press, and innumerable voluntary organizations, few of which are wholly disinterested. Our schools hold aloof, partly from fear of invading fields Books History~~General Problems-of-Educational-Readjustment~~David-Samuel-Snedden Nabu Press This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923.
