Abstract

History Teaching and International Friendship

Scott, Jonathan F. | May 4, 1918 issue

add to cart close window

There has been too much easy-going cosmopolitanism in American education, and the country is asked "to work out a new type of instruction in nationalism." Paranoiac Germany, stands as a horrible warning against over-nationalization, but it is important to take counsel of France. Whether or not education should be more nationalistic than at present depends largely, on the world situation after the war. It is of the nature of education to build for the future rather than to meet present emergencies.
