Synopsis
Excerpt from The Utility of Knowledge-Making as a Means of Liberal Training: Inaugural Address Delivered at the Opening of the Fortieth Session of Dalhousie College, Halifax, N. S., September 13th, 1899
And while the possession of knowledge is essential to power, it is not the possession of an outfit of knowledge at the beginning of active life that is essential, but the posses sion of such outfit when it is wanted. In the old days the world's whole stock of knowledge was so comparatively small, that it was possible in the period of tutelage to get an outfit of its principles at least. At the present day the world's stock is so large, that the school and college can no longer furnish a corresponding outfit. Yet the men of the present day are at little disadvantage on that account. For as the volume of knowledge has increased, its accessibility has increased also. And thus, provided the student of to day has been trained to acquire knowledge, has been taught in fact the most important of the three R's, the art of read ing, with all that the art of reading involves, he can readily provide himself at any time with such information as he may require. Thus, nowadays, it is not so much knowledge that is even one of the conditions of success, as a well developed power of acquiring knowledge.

The Utility of Knowledge-Making as a Means of Liberal Training
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a profound theory on the pivotal role of knowledge acquisition in shaping our lives and professions. By examining historical educational models, the author demonstrates that true learning lies not merely in accumulating vast amounts of information, but in cultivating the ability to create knowledge independently. This skill not only empowers individuals in their respective fields but also contributes to their overall success and fulfillment. The author argues that modern teaching practices, with their emphasis on written examinations and centralized testing systems, suppress this fundamental capacity, leading to a decline in the quality of education. By advocating for a return to knowledge-making methods, the book underscores the transformative power of fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and the ability to learn from one's own experiences. Ultimately, the insights presented in this book provide a valuable framework for educators and learners alike, emphasizing the enduring significance of knowledge creation and its ability to unlock boundless possibilities for growth and accomplishment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331332596_0
