Bringing Life-Education up to Date |
| |
| Abstract: | Life-education has been a widespread phenomenon from very early times. Since the beginning of humanity, people have lived and learned. It is natural that as human life has spread, so has education. However, some people are ahead of their time, and some are behind. There are people today who are still living several hundred years in the past and are receiving education that is several hundred years out of date. The purpose of expanding the educational movement is to teach those who have fallen behind to leap into the present. To be contemporary people, we must have contemporary knowledge, learn contemporary skills, perceive contemporary problems, and use contemporary methods to build our strength. Time progresses ceaselessly. If we are to continue to be up to date, we must participate in contemporary life using the latest tools; otherwise, we will fall behind in a few years. We must, therefore, grasp the key to contemporary civilization if we wish continually to discover its treasures and guarantee its unending flow. This key is the living use of language and symbols and a progressive scientific method. The greatest imperative of the universal education movement is to transfer this key from the hands of the minority to those of the masses. |
