The Children of Tomorrow

If I were to endeavor seriously to refute all the fallacies that are printed in the numerous publications of the professional educationists, I should do nothing else on this page. But I cannot resist commenting upon one recent effusion, sent to me by a reader of this review. It comes from the pages of the Instructor, a magazine for teachers, and is the work of Mr. Gerald Wendt, President, UNESCO Publications Center. Mr. Wendt wants to know, “Will Children be Ready for Tomorrow’s World?” The brummagem Utopianism which vitiates almost all the work of UNESCO is at its most naive in his remarks.
