“The public school is maintained primarily for the benefit of society, not for the individual student or teacher.”
That was the statement made by Dr. Lester B. Rogers, dean of the School of Education and the Summer Session, Friday, at the closing session of the five-day Conference for Educational Leaders held on the campus.
“The purpose of the public school is to help insure social stability and social progress,” he said. “We cannot legislate a new social order; we cannot hope only to raise the understanding of the people through education.”
Speaking on “The Desirable Limits of Public Education,” Dean Rogers declared that public schools should be supported up to the point where the benefit to society comes before in dividual benefit. “There is no exact place where the line may be drawn," he stated, “but the period extends at least from kindergarten through the secondary' grades.
“It is of course impossible for the state to provide higher education for everyone. Those selected for higher education should be chosen for the best possible return to society; those who will make the best trained leaders.”
More than 125 public school educators attended the S.C. conference. Dr. Thomas Nixon Carver, Harvard university; Dr. Clyde M. Hill of Yale; Superintendent John A. Sexson of the Pasadena City schools; and Dr. Willard S. Ford, Dr. A. S. Raubenheimer, Dr. O. R. Hull, and Dean L. B.
