Dictation Versus Direction in Secondary Education

James Augustine McDonald, Fordham University

Abstract

Universally is man to be acclaimed with hearty plaudits and in terms of lavish expression to be eulogized for the rare progress, in well nigh every field of endeavor, he has made since his origin. Still, in the same breath, does his panegyrist pause in perplexity of some glaring imperfections which, not for a generation only but through the ages, have militated against the very designed purpose of certain of his forebears' worthy projects affecting the amelioration of the human family in matters of no trifling import. Such inconsistencies, coexisting with the pro- ducts of intelligent minds, have ever afforded ample material for constructive criticism on conditions prevalent in several spheres of activity which are laboring under a failure, on the part of their originators, to have recognized a few, fundamental, guiding principles.
