There is a philosophy w hich stems from

Roussesu that our youngsters come to us
"trailing clouds. of glory from God who

is their home," and that all we have to
do th to let their glory flower in che
gardeco of freedom, No weeding, no cul-
“Civeting, no Fenmtlileing, no trimming,

ho pruning, no, discipline. ; Well, we

who have children and’we who teach know
that our youngssters, however tovable,
aren't just like that, and. they them-—
selves know they aren't just like that,
or most of them do, > Strangely enough,
they like discipline, if it be Pensenabile
and frir discipline, We have all heard of
the youngster who objected to marching
with his mates because he had a sacred
rhythm of his own, but we have also heard
of the bored youngster in an uty modern
school who complained, "“Flease, teacher,
do we have to do what we watt. to do now?"

A POINT OF VIEW

Education has been concerned with teach--
ing people how to learn rather than wh.t
to learn, (tihas taught. the his tomy o¢
philoscphy but .carefully refrained f2:om
giving any guidance in evaluating phil--
osophy,) Tnshis @esire to be scisnts [19
and objective, the philesopher has care
fully concealed his own opinions, for—
getting that the great philosophers of
the pas ti were violently partisan. Men
like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle firank—

such inconvience because of positions
which he takes before his classes, ' The
upshot of ity allts,. the schocis bays
refused to face the most important ques=—
tions the student asks-——"what is the
Meaning of life?"

Education has been extremely vocal about
techniques and strangely silent about
goals,

We are now seeking the fruits of this
type of education, Graduates emerge
well equipped with skills but not pro-
vided with any purpose to give point and
dinmectitn. to these skills, They are
launched on the sea of life with high
speed engines and no steering gears,

Thus équipved, they are in no sense free,
even though they live in a free society
with all restraints removed and the "11d
Off” to poeety “The cola) reality is tore
is no imprisonment more unendurable than
purposelessness, What good is freedcw
to people that are lost in the woods with
no sense of direction?
