Whole object of intellectual education is formation of logical disposition - John Dewey

The intermingling in the school of youth of different races, differing religions, and unlike customs creates for all a new and broader environment. Common subject matter accustoms all to a unity of outlook upon a broader horizon than is visible to the members of any group while it is isolated. The assimilative force of the American public school is eloquent testimony to the efficacy of the common and balanced appeal.

The educational process has no end beyond itself; it is its own end.

In a sense the mind of savage peoples is an effect, rather than a cause, of their backward institutions.
