These reformers seem to think that the farther we get from the paths of our fathers the surer we shall be of doing the right thing for our sons. In discussing some changes in our scheme of education, I wish to disclaim in advance any sympathy with the reformer who destroys the present scheme of education simply because it is an old one. I have too much respect for the wisdom of others, and too little respect for my own judgment, to be willing to take this responsibility. I am fond of the philosophy of Edmund Burke, as expressed in his essay, "Reflections on the French Revolution". I have often found it to my advantage to attempt to apply this philosophy to my thinking about my own professional work. In this paper, Burke says: "Instead of casting away all our old prejudices, we cherish them because they are our old prejudices, and the longer they have lasted, and the more generally they have prevailed, the more we cherish them. We are afraid to put men to live and trade each on his own private stock of reason, beCause we suspect that this stock in each man is small, and that individuals would do better to avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations and of ages. Many of our men of speculation, instead of exploding general prejudices, employ their sagacity to discover the latent wisdom * An address delivered before the National Council of Education, at Denver, July 5, 1909. |
