but that knowledge depends upon the
individual and the place where he is
going to live.
Our facilities for acquiring knowl-
edge have expanded SO greatly in this
generation that some of the things
taught to the past generation would

Of the present. We are teaching chill

than we did when we were children.
Henry N. Sherwood, State superin-

conferred too much on information and
not enough on the pupil. He declared
that character building had been neg

: Mere learning is not enough" he
said. Mere information does not go
far enough. Education deals with life
and it is lifelong process. We want
more than intelligent citizenship; we
want citizenship at its best"
