| Abstrakt: |
In Referring to President Robert M. Hutchins' philosophy of education as the New Reaction I do so with the intention of distinguishing it as sharply as possible from the old reaction. By the old reaction I mean the forces in America which attempt to preserve traditional educational practices simply because they are traditional the forces which, in every society, shy at change; which see in the slightest act of progressivism some threat to the glorious achievements of our forefathers; which oppose experimentation not because of understanding of what a particular experiment involves but, more likely, because they lack such understanding.
