of- the new pedagogy, supported heartily by the new
sociology, that schooling, particularly in its earlier
stages, shall be changed from an afflictive imposition
upon life to a rationally concentrated accomplishment
of a portion of life itself. Hence the correlated demand
of the new pedagogy, also seconded by the new sociology,
that, so far as conscious effort is made by instructors to
supplement the education of action by the education of
cognition, the objects of contemplation shall be kept real
by being viewed constantly as organic parts of the one
reality. They must no longer be made unreal through
analytic segregation which leaves them standing apart as
independent realities.
Having thus by negation challenged some of the implicit concessions of the Committee of Ten to the old
dogmatic pedagogy, and to presociological concepts of
reality, I pass to a positive definition of the outlook of
sociology. I believe it to be also in the line of the pedagogy that will prevail.
Haman experience is concerned with three knowable
elements: First, man's material environment, inanimate
and animate; second, man himself as an individual, in
all his characteristics, from his place in the animal
kingdom, through his special physiology, psychology,
and technology; third, man's associations or institutions.
Sociology is the systematic attempt to reduce the reactions of these three elements -nature, man, institutions-;
to scientific form and expiession. The inclusive reality
which sociology finds comprehending both the processes
and the products of these reactions is society, i. e., individuals in aasociation, within the conditions imposed by
