7. The Need for Education in America
One of the supreme problems of education to give to young the benefits of the experience and wisdom of the old, to teach them so to order their conduct that greater rewards which are hidden and long delayed may be preferred to those which, immediate and apparent, may seem to be greater. This is the problem of moral education. Honesty is the best policy, but this is apparent only if one sees the ultimate consequences of dishonesty. This is also the problem of health education. A rigorous regimen, somewhat unpleasant at the start, is preferred by the wise man to the full satisfaction of immediate desires. There is greater happiness in the long run.
It has been said repeatedly that we are in a race between education and catastrophe. This has been said so often that it is like the cry, "Wolf! Wolf!" But we had better heed this cry today.
However much the American schools may deserve criticism at present, however much their methods may warrant ridicule, they are, nevertheless, our only hope. We have in the American educational system an agency which can reach all the people. All the children are in elementary school. Most of those from fourteen through eighteen years of age are in high school. A huge number are in institutions of, higher learning. The agencies of adult education have so greatly expanded in the last decade that men and women formerly beyond the reach of an educational program are now regularly attending conferences, lectures, and classes.
It is time that the American people direct all their educational agencies to the task of giving our citizens the basis upon which to decide questions of political economics. The American voter within the next decade will be called upon to express his opinion upon a great variety of questions on the relations of government and economic life. Somehow or other he must acquire a background of knowledge so that his decisions may be wise.
(1) Americans (a. are all trained to vote intelligently; b. will be able to decide political questions wisely in ten years time; c. will have to make up their minds about many public questions in the future; d. know a great deal about political economy).
(2) The American educational system (a. affects a large proportion of the population; b. is worth very little; c. keeps everyone in school; d. is above reproach).
(3) Education should help young people to endure temporary hardship for the sake of (a. experience; b. gratification of immediate desires; c, honesty; d. delayed good).
(4) The American social order (a. is safe; b. is in a race with education; c. is now protected by education; d. is in great danger).
