The Bishops views were
contained in the keynote adj

Institute on Religious and

Bishop Shehan noted that the
1859 Catholic Directory's list

States indicates an increase
from 1858 to 1859 of less than
one fourth of one per cent.
Bishop Shehan attributed
the family's failure to contrib
ute to the growth of vacations
to fear, lack of knowledge
and lack of awareness of its
obligation. He added:
Many parents are afraid
that a seeming vocation may
lead to the unhappiness and
tragedy of a false and irrevoc-
able choice. In spite of all that
has been said on the subject,
they cling to the thought of
vocation as an inner revela-

Smiths picture may be unduly grim,

the goth century. But the essential truth
1t points out remains unchanged. Special
lied vocational training which does no
more than fit a man for a limited task
in the industrial process is as stultifying

ing is. strictly speaking. not education in
the human sense at all. It contributes to
the production of material goods, not to
the development of human beings.
While the ancients had the correct
view of education as essentially liberal,
they did not think that all men should be
literally educated, because they did not
think that all men are fitted by nature for
the pursuit of happiness or citizenship or
the liberal pursuits Of leisure. But we

1t should be specialized only in the sense
that 1t should be conceived in terms OF
mans specifically human nature. II they
were asked whether 1t should be vocational,
they would say that the only vocation with
which 1t should be concerned is the com
mon human cGllin0-the pursuit of happi-
ness. What we call specialized and voca-
tional Misunderstanding for particular
JobS-they would regard as the training OF
slaves not the education Of free men.
This classical view Of education pre-
vailed right down to our own century 1t
was reafhrmed as late as 1915 by none
other than John Dewey. In Democracy
and Education, he declared that merely
vocational training Is the training OF ami
mails or slaves. It fits them to become
cogs in. the industrial machine. Free men
need liberal education to prepare them to
make a good use of their freedom.
Writing in 1776, at the beginning OF
the industrial revolution, the English econ
omist, Adam Smith. advocated a minimum
general education for all citizens. He
pointed out that man who is incapable
of using his intellectual faculties properly
is not fully human. He described the
qualification of the worker from whom no
real craftsmanship or skill is demanded.
The division of labor, which limits him to
performing few simple operations, makes
him a mere appendage of the industrial
process.
As a result, the worker, according to
Smith, becomes as stupid and ignorant
as 1t is possible for a human being to
become The torpor Of his mind renders
him not only incapable of relishing or
bearing a part in any rational converse
ton, but of conceiving any generous. noble
or tender sentiment and consequently OF
forming any moral Judgment concerning

Hence we think that democratic society
must provide liberal schooling for all.
Vocational training for particular tasks
in the Industrial process should be done by
industry itself and on the job, not by the
schools or in class rooms. The curriculum
of basic schooling, from the first grades
through college, should be wholly liberal
and essentially the same for all. In view of
the wide range of abilities or aptitudes
with which the schools have to deal, that
curriculum must be adapted to different
children in different ways.
In other words, we must solve the
problem of how to give oil the children
the least gifted as well as the most gifted

was given in the past only to the teic.
