It will not be the statesmen who decide whether democracy - will prevail or not. f It will be the educators. _That is the challenging thesis of Constance Warren, president of Sarah Lawrence College, in a new book “A Design for Women’s Education” (Stokes). “Teaching is thie one profession,” she. writes, “which has never felt the obligation to be abreast of the times.” The new design of which she writes is the one she has had in operation for the past 11 years at Sarah Lawrence College. The controversy ,between democracy and dictatorship, she says,

as the masses live in ignorance, or, what is worse, in the miasmic halfworld created by propaganda ministers.. Until men’s minds are free to question, to discover, to weigh and to shape their own ideals—the essence of democracy--we shall have armistices, but no peace.” > The college president then progeeds to attack “dictators of education”—an education gauged to meet the requirements of the academicians without regard to the practical meaning or value to the student, an education to cover the syllabus, let the student or swim. “The time has come when We must recognize emphatically that the education whicH was good enough for us is not good enough for our children.” : fas £8 She demands an education that

deeper understanding of democratic principles and, at the same time, richer individuals. It needs no defenders. she contends, only teachers who are willing and able to adapt it to their wider uses.

At Sarah Lawrence, she explains, there are practically no marks, no lectures, no recitations, no examinations, no textbooks. Students are given the right to choose field work or laboratory work. For example, a girl studying economic behavior may visit a large industrial plant to interview workers and executives, attend hearings of a railroad facing abandonment, the New York Stock Exchange and Congressional sessions and hearings. Papers are then presented in seminars where students, rather than the teachers, tear it apart.” “Here the focus,” says the author, “is:on the individual and what she wants most in life, rather than on what somebody thought somebody ought to know. The students are treated as individuals with minds and ideas of their own, no longer as children supposed to do as they are told on faith.” “Ask some college freshman and seniors ‘what they are learning about living today,” suggests Miss Warren. “A discouraging number are learning that they must pile up a certain number of credits to get a degree; that there are enough pipe courses in liberal arts colleges to get that degree almost ‘painlessly; but that the degree per se in the lend’ does not impress prospective employer$ and it is dismayingly use-

cessful marriage and that it has (as 25 years ago) only the remotest connection with the . problems of living.” Miss Warren says that the role of the teacher in this new design ‘should be that of the adviser—to be consulted, to stimulate interest and to guide the students’ steps. The student, she foints out, does not have to be prodded to work on what seems to her problems of immediate importance in her life. Regarding the grading of students she says: “The student who {is under constant strain of competition for marks is prey on one hand to false security and delusions of superiority or on the other to despondency and the bitter taste of failure. She is too apt to give the expected answers too glibly for the sake of a mark instead of stopping to think—and convince herself of the uhderlying truth. Release from competitive strain is the real adventure in self education. If we are to fit the student for a successful life in terms of satisfaction, it is vital that each individual pit herself not against others so much as against different kinds of experiences, that she may find out what she can do as well and set her own standards. When education takes this new line, the world will be less cluttered with square pegs in round holes.” : ‘This book is recommended for the parents ‘of young ‘people’ who are about to enter college.
