Abstract
Will man grow up before he blows up? Nearly 50 years ago H. G. Wells observed that man has from his beginning been subjected to a constant race between education and catastrophe. His tools for education have been rapidly improving especially since the advent of science, but, by the same token, so have his powers of bringing ever more hideous and cataclysmic catastrophe down upon his collective head. The eventual winner of the race is perhaps anybody's guess, but if education is to be the winner it would seem to behoove those in the field to get down to some really serious thinking relative to the most desirable “ends” for the educative process and the most suitable “means” for getting there. If a thousand persons were to be asked to set down their definition of education only one thing seems certain—that we would have a thousand different definitions. You no doubt, as well as I, have your own definition and know a few “pat” ones also.
