Anything that lessens the dignity and power of the worker lessens the ability of the average man to be a competent and successful father; just as anything that lessens the dignity and power of the worker or makes him seem but a machine for others to use in building up industrial organization lessens his influence in the political order.

The importance to the family and to the state of the elements of education which are aimed at reinstating standards of skill and recognition of superior ability in the industrial field, by the school, can not, therefore, be overestimated.
=Education a Social Process.=--These elements are attempts to socialize education.

We say that education is a process in the development of human personality.

So it is, but it is also a process by which individuals are fitted for serviceableness to the group life.
Education is not now for the first time "socialized" because we now theorize upon its social function in a new way.

Each group of people, in each phase of social relationship, aims to express and to perpetuate, through the training of the oncoming generations, the ideals, the customs, and the institutional forms deemed by them necessary and desirable.
