Excerpt from Adolescence and High-School Problems

Both of these methods of solving educational problems are considered scientific and modern. Each has its disciples, and the inﬂuence of one or both is traceable in all recent educational writing and discussion. Just now it would appear that the demands of society, in the broader sense of the term, are upper most in the minds of a majority of educational experts; as witness, the ever recurring phrase social efficiency and its like, in which it would seem that this proposed aim of education implies that the schools are to make the pupils eﬂicient for the sake of society. However, the relative merits and validity Of these two ways of determining educational procedure are not under discussion here. Whatever may be their relative values as criteria, the discussions and attempted solutions of high school problems which follow are controlled largely by psycho logical considerations. These will certainly furnish workable and valid tests; if a single viewpoint is maintained, our study of the problems here considered will gain in unity.
