Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The People´s School: A Study in Vocational Training It seems to be difficult for us to learn that human institutions may not be borrowed outright. The sight of some new form of efficiency in our neighbors over the sea stirs the conscious progressives at home to minute and wholesale imitation. This is particularly true where we feel second-rate, - in art, science, and education. In politics and industry, we are a trifle cock-sure of ourselves and copy scarcely at all; but elsewhere we tend to be over-impressed by foreign example. The history of conscious educational reform in America offers many illustrations of indiscriminate institution-matching, all the way from the kindergarten to the university. There have been large gains, of course; but we have paid an unnecessarily high price in maladjustments. If only we had noted the essential elements of foreign experience and moulded the institutional forms to suit our own population and national ideals, we could have made our institutions far more effective.
