Education is a regulation of the process of coming to share in the social consciousness; and that the adjustment of individual activity on the basis of this social consciousness is the only sure method of social reconstruction.

Schools should take part in the great work of construction and organization that will have to be done.

Etymologically, the word education means just a process of leading or bringing up.

In the present state of the world, it is evident that the control we have gained of physical energies, heat, light, electricity, etc., without having first secured control of our use of ourselves is a perilous affair. Without the control of our use of ourselves, our use of other things is blind; it may lead to anything.

The primary ineluctable facts of the birth and death of each one of the constituent members in a social group determine the necessity of education.

The future of our civilisation depends upon the widening spread and deepening hold of the scientific habit of mind.

I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform.
