The aim of education is to create a clean physical dynamic, to develop from this a practical intellectual ability ending in a moral enthusiasm for the service of man.

With one among every ten persons of our large urban centers buried at public expense, with ten million paupers festering among us in the land of plenty, with one among every seven of us doomed to unnecessary death from tuberculosis, with one and one half million children laboring in pursuits to the detriment of our nation, with 50 percent of our nation property less, with churches, industries and schools trying to solve their problems separately and often in opposition to each other, with caste distinctions and class estrangements unhappily reappearing in the thought and practice of our folk, with corporate injustice in many quarters inviting social disaster, with hazards of industry increasing, with laborers turning into machines and fingers losing pride in the perfection of their products; with our blatant emphasis upon petty programs; with these pressing upon us we need not fear that opportunities for moral enthusiasms to play their part are lacking.

To abate our depressing poverty, to lessen the evils thrust upon us by our sudden industrial crisis, to proíote a more equitable distribution of the products of honest toil, every possible help is needed.

To such appeals the schools must bring an ardent, intelligent and worshipful spirit, not programs and systems but insight and devotion.
