Extract

This paper was written from the standpoint of three broad general assumptions: (1) that a study of the history of education has much to contribute to the upgrading of the quality of the profession of teaching; (2) that the future of education in the United States calls for a deeper sense of historical reality; and (3) that the root of much of our confusion in educational policy today is to be found in the area involving the quality of the relation between religion and politics. Dr. Robert Ulich has stated our problem quite well:

If in the dialectical nature of life, we want to have the advantages of organizations and of institutions, we will also have to cope with the disadvantages. Whether our organizations, especially our churches and states, will lead us toward greater freedom and a world-embracing outlook, or become more and more totalitarian will depend on the degree to which the human person is able to assert his self-transcending quality not only for and above, but even against the biggest institutions.
