Excerpt from The Tree-Dwellers As long as a simple organization of society prevailed, the school was not called upon to take up the practical work; but now society has become so complex that the use of practical activity is abso lately essential. Society to-day makes a greater demand than ever before upon each and all of its members for special skill and knowl edge, as well as for breadth of view. These demands can be met only by such an improvement in educational facilities as corres ponds to the increase in the social demand. Evidently the school must lay hold of all of the educational forces within its reach. In the transitional movement it is not strange that new factors are being introduced without relation to the educational process as a whole. The isolation of manual training, sewing, and cooking from the physical, natural, and social sciences is justifiable only on the ground that the means of establishing more organic rela tions are not yet available. To continue such isolated activities after a way is found of harnessing them to the educational work is as foolish as to allow steam to expend itself in moving a loco motive up and down the tracks without regard to the destiny of the detached train.
