Before we dive into today’s quote, take a breath and sit with the idea of education as a tool, not just for learning, but for shaping identity.
The General Education Board’s “dream” describes a system built for molding, compliance, and predefined outcomes, especially for rural communities. It is a chilling reminder that whoever designs the curriculum can quietly decide what kinds of minds are encouraged, and what kinds of futures are off-limits.
Read this slowly, then ask yourself: does true education awaken the soul and sharpen discernment, or does it train people to fit a role?
“In our dream, we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand.
The present educational conventions fade from their minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk.
We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning, or men of science.
We have not to raise up from among them authors, editors, poets or men of letters.
We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have an ample supply…
The task we set before ourselves is very simple as well as a very beautiful one, to train these people as we find them to a perfectly ideal life just where they are…
So we will organize our children into a little community and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way, in the homes, in the shops and on the farm.”
