Humanism And Education.
In his final discourse, Dr. Livingston averred his belief In tho efficacy
of a trained Intelligence and the development of a sound, national
moral character to solve international problems. "Those who compose and govern a state," he said,
"make it like themselves. For Plato,
unedcuated people were not fit to
rule because they had no single goal.
Plato's scheme of education was referred to as ideal in many respects.
The first stage in education, to the
age of 19, should be predominantly
literary and cultural. Plato would
have youth meet only those people
whom they should resemble, and he
would carefully train children to
like the right things. In the university stage, he would introduce
military and scientific training. Finally, at the age of 30, would come
the dialectic, a study of the world,
a helrrachy of values. At 35, with
the dialectic completed, the man
would go out Into the world, re
turning again to school at intervals.
While Plato's scheme was too long,
too rigid, and too shortsighted to
recognize the inequality of human
begins, it did nevertheless, contain
much of permanent value. In considering its application to our problems the speaker said, "Plato's psychology of education was much
sounder in practice than ours. We do
not appreciate unconscious influence
as he did, and his conclusions were
much more logical. He wouldn't allow ugliness In his scheme of education, neither would he exhibit immorality before children thus permitting them to absorb in their
souls a festering mass of infection.
If Plato could speak to us today, he
would probably say, "you don't know
what you want. Your goal is a" hybrid monster, an amalgam of vague
ideals, vocational guidance, professional training, money making, and
character training of a doubtful
kind. You have your poets and philosophers and have become a nursery of Philistines. I knew what I
wanted. The goal of my education
was character building."
Professor Livingston concluded his
remarkable series of lectures by saying that our educational system is
strong in means, but weak in ends.
Its weakness is reflected in the fact
that it alms at a high tpye of efficiency for the highest positions,
and too low type for the subordinate
ones.
Education has not been very effective in helping to solve international problems because it has not
been intelligently directed to that
end, for example economic problems

are not the real cause of international quarrels. They merely furnish
the opportunity which we, for lack
of adequate guidance, have made
into quarrels. The fundamental
basis for International peace is that
nations should not only understand
one another's problems, but that
they should also learn to respect
each other's civilization. An amazing ignorance of psychology was
shown by statesmen in 1914. Education is making a good beginning.
Schools like this are good, but
much remains to be done. Our aim
should be to train intelligence and
develop character; to educate the
social instinct and to turn the pugnacious instinct into constructive
channels. Much can be changed by
education when we fix a goal. But
a philosophy of humanism is indispensable In understanding and solving international problems.
Close of the Geneva School.
The Geneval School of International Studies, after eight weks on
concentrated study of international
problems from every conceivable
angle of approach, concluded its
sixth session August 30, focusing attention upon the duties of political
science as an aid in solving the
world's difficulties. This session has
been unusually successful. Approx-iatel- y
37 nationalities and 85 colleges and universities in all parts of
the world, have enrolled. The advanced course, the most Intresting
of all, is limited to 125 carefully

chosen students, representing
nationalities and pratlcally all the
world's greater universities. The
elementary course enrolled 325 students, coming very largely from
Great Britain
and the United
States. A large number of these
were high school teachers.

considered no man in the light of
humanism to whose spiritual activiand position
ties, wealth, power
should be subordinated. But humanism then, as now, was subsequently
weakened by common universal
vices. In the modern world however, humanism is peculiarly due
to the brilliant course run by science
in the past century, the only thing
in human history not falling or disappointing mankind. For many, the
discovery of science revealing tnc
earth as a small star Instead of the
center of the universe, this globe of
upon which man appeared fortuitously and of unsavory origin, has
disclosed the relative unimportance
of the human race. Further, the
ease with which wealth may be accumulated has stimulated the acquisitive instinct to the neglect of
spiritual values.
Looking at the picture from the
more hopeful point of view, the
speaker declared that humanism is
not dead. "In the wrecks of time,"
he said, "certain humanistic qualities survive and seem to be the
mainstay of human progress. They
arc to be found In great art and
literature, and in the purely human
qaullties of such personalities as St.
Francis, Buddha and Jesus of Nazareth.
Transferring his theory of humanism to the realm of politics,
Professor Livingston again turned to
Plato who, he said, dealt with a
political situation not unlike our
own. After 227 years of war he had
seen the collapse of a great political
Ideal. Musing, he tried to devise a
philosophy of state that would last.
His great work "The Republic," was
the result. Here his thesis Is that
the political problem is one of moral
Ity, one of justice. Also, he set forth
the remarkable observation that the
sexes are absolutely equal In ability,
a truth which was not realized in
practice until 2,000 years later.
Plato demanded also that his
statesman be philosopher kings, intensely interested in the world and
having the vision to see beyond to
the distant future. He did not, however, believe in democracy in our
sense, but advocated rule by the best
people For him, democracy and
aristocracy

connoted
values, and he taught that character, not wealth, should determine
social position.
Two of the main deterrants to a
humanistic state today are the Ideas
of liberalism and nationalism pushed
to extremes. They take us away from
the ideal of humanism. The right to
follow ones own ideals makes of life
a sort of egoism, and there is a
point at which egoism ceases to be

desirable, warned the speaker. Na
tionallsm too has great faults. Its
tendency Is to distract our views
from political humanism and subordinate ends to means.
