Philosophies of education : forty-first yearbook part 1

---

The Yearbook for 1942 could not be appropriately presented with¬out mention of the distinguished editorial services of Dr. Guy M. Whip-pie, Secretary-Treasurer of this Society from 1915 until his death last August and Editor of twenty-six of the forty yearbooks heretofore pub¬lished. While the content of these volumes is the work of hundreds of zealous members of the profession, Dr. Whipple's technical skill and consistent adherence to high standards of workmanship have recorded their conspicuous imprint upon this widely accredited series of profes¬sional publications. It is an enviable privilege to succeed him in these offices and to record in this preface the acknowledgment of a profes¬sional obligation of long standing for his effective contributions to the plans and purposes of this organization.
The Forty-First Yearbook follows the plan of presentation of many previous yearbooks of the Society in the respect that it consists of two parts printed as separate volumes. It is unique in the sense that the two parts were from the beginning planned as companion volumes designed as scholarly expositions of the concepts of different schools of thought with respect to two fundamental issues in educational theory and practice. These issues pertain to the ultimate purposes of educa¬tion in a democratic society and the nature of the learning process.
The projected aims of a social enterprise, even though they may be defined in terms of scientific knowledge, are the expression of a choice of alternatives. The final determination of such aims is the motive of philosophy. The effective methods to be employed in realizing selected^ objectives may most assuredly be disclosed through laboratory and other experimental techniques. Thus, in education, the issues involved in the determination of what knowledge is to be acquired are resolved by reference to the philosophical concepts with which the purposes and results of schooling are to be reconciled, while the methods by which this knowledge may be attained are to be sought in those refinements of experience achieved by the science of psychology in the testing of dif¬ferent theories of human learning. The companion volumes constitut¬ing the Forty-First Yearbook of this Society render noteworthy service to the profession of education by providing authoritative commentaries on the educational implications of varying viewpoints among influential schools of philosophy and psychology.
