Excerpt from What Classical Education Means: The Problem in Canada
In St. Paul theylately established a Mechanic Arts High School on the express principle that there is just as much intellectual discipline derived from sawing a board straight, or making a dove-tailed joint as translating a passage of Cicero or solving a problem in geometry. I quote the words on the authority of the Superintendent himself, Mr. George Weitbrecht, though that gentleman, it is fair to say, ventures to criticize the statement as one-sided and unpedagogical. L have not the feelings of the founders of Mechanic Arts High School to consider, so i may go to the length of saying that the statement is absurd and shows a radical confusion of two distinct ends in education. You can teach a red Indian from the woods, in a week or less. To saw a board straight and make a dove-tailed joint, and it might not take very long to make him a fair carpenter. But even the founders of the Mechanic Arts High School could hardly suppose that that kind of training alone, or any extension of it, is all that is needed to make him a good citizen. But, if it not, the question at once arises, what is the meaning and end of the other kind of education, and what are the best methods of conveying it? That question will lead us to a sphere where the principle of utility is seen in a higher aspect and where methods founded mainly on sense preception and 'concrete information are less valuable than methods founded mainly on imaginative preception.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the complex debate surrounding the value of a rigorous classical education in understanding the modern world. As the author points out, the study of Latin and Greek has historically formed a cornerstone of literary culture, offering students a deep understanding of the literary and cultural foundations of our present-day world. The author argues that a classical education provides a unique portal to the past, opening minds to the nuances of language, art, literature, and philosophy, which cannot be gained through practical or technical subjects alone. They explore the ways in which it cultivates a true understanding of our present through comparative study of the past. A classical education not only enriches one's intellect but also shapes our ability to think critically and creatively. To avoid a decline in literary culture, this book advocates for the preservation and promotion of classical education in modern society, highlighting how it is more than just a collection of facts but a gateway to a more profound understanding of ourselves and our world.
