Abstract

In Too many of our schools today, the various acts and achievements of man through the ages are taught separately, as though each were a unique accident. A student might at one time be studying Egypt in his history class, Victor Hugo in his French class, Shakespeare in his English literature class, and how to draw bittersweet in a vase in his art class—or, if his art department is “advanced,” how to appreciate Picasso and poured-concrete bridges. Another month he may be occupying himself with Medieval history, Voltaire, Steinbeck, and Michelangelo. And another month with the French Revolution, Andre Gide, Chaucer, and Ben Shahn.
