Page 369 - Aside from the immediate discharge of these specific duties, every individual should have a margin of time for the cultivation of personal and social interests.

Good citizenship, vocational excellence, and the worthy use of leisure go hand in hand with ethical character; they are at once the fruits of sterling character and the channels through which such character is developed and made manifest. On the one hand, character is meaningless apart from the will to discharge the duties of life...
Page 371 - ... Vocation. 5. Citizenship. 6. Worthy use of leisure. 7. Ethical character. The naming of the above objectives is not intended to imply that the process of education can be divided into separated fields This can not be, since the pupil is indivisible.
