2022.270.1Description
[Dr. Sisson] proposals are constructive, upward-looking, built upon that firm faith in ideals which is the finest heritage of American democracy. If education can guide its works in the light of this faith, who can doubt that all will be well? But the works must be forthcoming, else the expression of faith becomes only lip-service; a gesture of righteousness; or, if it goes a little further than this, a temporary reform of a superficial type - a collective effort of the body-politic, when it finds itself "in a hole," to lift itself out by its bootstraps. Only education of a fundamental and pervasive type can build a ladder upon which society can climb upward. It is the framework of such a ladder that Dr. Sisson has fashioned. -- Editor's noteCreate Date
