Wahlquist Reviews Education Trends
“Progressive education had the same effect upon the ‘traditional' educators of the 1890s as did the atom bomb on the world of today.”
Dr. John T. Wahlquist, dean of the School of Education, University of Utah, and visiting professor at SC for the past session, made this assertion in his speech yesterday on “The Future of Progressive Education.”
The history of world educators is the history of progressive education, Dr. Wahlquist believes, and the progressive education we know today is a thing of the past. The faults of this pseudo-progressive education were not apparent in the original pragmatic philosophy but came about from the misinterpretations by the Dewey satellite pragmatists.
Thus Dewey claims that the present day controversial pseudo-progressive education has not followed the true pragmatic concepts of his philosophy.
