The Reconstructed School

The author examines which aspects of schooling are constant and which are changeable, urging teachers and leaders to scrutinize and reorganize those variables to maximize educational returns. He argues that shared aims among teachers, pupils, parents, and community produce unity of thought and cooperative action, and that leadership should focus thinking toward moral and civic qualities such as appreciation, courage, reverence, responsibility, and democratic habit. The work advocates broadening the notion of society beyond national boundaries, making cultivation of spiritual and aesthetic judgment a central educational goal, and offers practical guidance for reconstructing school procedures to elevate purposes and outcomes.
