Whole educational system was based on the assumption of individual similarity. In collegiate education, this principle showed itself in terms of the fixed course of study for all, at any rate during the early part of the course, regardless of what the individual might consider important or what might have any relation to his interests, immediate or remote. Recently many so-called educators have gone to the opposite extreme of placing emphasis on individual differences, an extreme that is no more tenable when employed without check than that of exclusive attention to individual similarity.
