"This book holds that too much time is spent in our schools on the means of life rather than on life itself, and that the young are made to depend too much on the use of language symbols as a means of gaining their knowledge of the world of nature and humanity. Some of the primary contentions of this book are that the main objective of education should be the development of human resources along the line of mutual interests and knowl- edge and understanding; that our chief social ills of today . . . can be traced back to the undeveloped state of the mass of people in the different nations, rather than to the inherent evil and predominate selfishness of human nature; that as the vast undevoleped resources of interest and knowledge and understanding are developed, most of our present-day social problems and ills will vanish into thin air. This book holds that for the development of these human resources the young must grow up in a world environment, and it gives a. . . description of the means by which this can be made possible. This book also makes definite suggestions as to such changes in Elementary Science or Nature Study, in Human Science or Psychiatry, in Geography, Literature and His- tory, as would make human nature and the humanity of today the chief subject of study in our schools." Publisher's note "In considering the sort of means that might provide this world range of sight ex- periences for children and people, it is wise to recognise at once that the only practicable means of supplying this primary mental need for people everywhere, is pictures—that as a matter of scientific fact people may gain, by the use of the better pictures at least, ade- quately real experiences of seeing whatever is thus represented; moreover that pictures can be produced in such quantities and at such a small cost as would make it possible to satisfy sufficiently the need of people everywhere for such experiences."
