—We have had so far but little to say in this chapter about
education. We have been occupied with the conditions and implications
of growth. If our conclusions are justified, they carry with them,
however, definite educational consequences. When it is said that
education is development, everything depends upon how development
is conceived. Our net conclusion is that life is development, and that
developing, growing, is life. Translated into its educational
equivalents, that means (i) that the educational process has no end
beyond itself; it is its own end; and that (ii) the educational process
is one of continual reorganizing, reconstructing, transforming.
