FRJi-vav AUGUST 10, 1923 as mte Citizen Chairman Tells Aims ^^ani Purposes of Education _ __ • Editor's note: The article on the National Kindergar- ten and Elementary College was prepared for pubheation in this paper by Mrs. Andrew MacLeish of Glencoe, North Shore Citizen ; Chairman for the National Ktn- derqartcn and Elementary College. BY MRS. ANDREW MACLEISH The National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college, which is soon to rise upon its beautiful new site on the norm shore, is a visible consummation of the best modern thought upon the problem of child training. Sixty years ago and more Charles Darwin paved the way for its method when he stated, as the result of years of patient observation, his be- lief that all life is a process of evolution. So, as soon as we accept the theory of de- velopment as the method of creation and recognize the fact that development may be influenced by environment and by out- side stimuli, at once the period of jrowth and plasticity becomes of para- mount importance. Possibilities Limitless The possibilities of elevatfng the hur following to higher levels of true patriotism, to a 7 " loftier sense of honor and more unselfish devotion to duty. The ignorant must be made intelligent; the helpless, capable, the criminally inclined, virtuous, lnis can be done only through the children, and so education in its modern, scientinc sense becomes the process of salvation. But for what are we educating? Who can foresee the conditions under which the little children of today will face life when they are men and women? What will be the social and economic situation in the next generation, and the next, and the next? What will be the forms of religious faith, the political and social creeds ? Since we cannot fore- J see them we cannot educate for them. Aims At Full Development What we can do, and what this Col- lege proposes to do, is to give each child conditions for his own fullest and most normal development, physical, men- tal and spiritual; to give him command of himself and to put into his hands the best existing tools of civilization. Not only will the College strive to do this for the children who come within man race through the wise training of i its influence, but it will send out into the generation after generation of its chil- world, year by year, groups of young gener i ■ «• « This is the ! women trained in these ideals and this practice of education who will make new centers, here and there, for the spread 0LL_ihf- heautif nl-child-cuUure-ior--wJiich dren seem almost limitless. method, and this alone, by which we may grapple successfully with the great social problems that day by day force.._-__----------- themselves more insistently upon our con- the College stands.
