IDEAS IN
EDUCATION
By JOHN CLARKSON
Education has been defined as a
life-long proccss of changes, modi
fications, and ad.iuslments. Each
particular pha.'^c of education, as
stated above, affects the individual
emotionall.y, physicall,v, morally,
and in man.y other different char
acteristics of human behavior.
Considering all factors and with
this definition in mind, students on
the college level should strive to
improve themselves and to make
preparations for future w'ork and
training,
Man.y educational institutions
ii-e placing a high degree of em
phasis on student participation in
out-of-class activities. The idea
behind this action is primarily to
prepare well-rounded individuals
and to place extra-curricula activi
ties into the same category as the
three R’s.”
During the turn of the century,
a survey was made in education
and from this survey information
j was compiled and handed down to
I educators in the form of a report,
j Fi'om this report came the “‘Seven
Cardinal Principles of Elementary
Education,” Some of these prin
ciples are listed as health, com
mand of fundamental processes,
worthy home membership, citizen
ship, worth.y use of leisure, and
ethical character. It is to be noted
that these factors are important in
any profession; however, it should
also be noted that no particular
principle stands out alone and
above the others. It is believed
that if one combines these prin
ciples he will develop into an in
dividual who is emotionally stable,
mentally capable, and will be able
to take his place in our democratic
society.
Well - rounded students make
well-rounded teachers, and well-
rounded teachers make good citi
zens and help to make others good
citizens. Therefore, in keeping
with the aims and objectives of
modern education, let us all turn
our attention towards the idea of
selecting some particular extra
curricula activity which will help
us in building good active students
for today and civic-minded citi
zens for tomorrow.
