Culture and the Schools of New York City

Marie Keese, Fordham University

Abstract

Education has been going on for a long time; our educational institutions, practices and materials are the products of centuries of accumulation. We are the heirs of the ages, and we have inherited much, some of which has become unsatisfactory. We have copied from the past; we have used customs and traditions of the centuries; we have built substantial habits. But now we are looking for something more adequate to the task. If however we are dissatisfied with some of the practices and ideals of the past, that is no reason for critically discarding all the past.
