Excerpt from Citizens to Be: A Social Study of Health, Wisdom and Goodness With Special Reference, to Elementary Schools The effort of these pages is a threefold effort of reconciliation - first, to suggest a closer fellowship between the company of social workers and the company of teachers, and to win a wider recognition of the identity of the aims of both, secondly, within the educational ideal, to unite the often contrasted purposes of vocational and liberal, primary and secondary, individual and civic, secular and religious education, thirdly, to foreshadow the attainment, hastened through such a fellowship and such an education, of wider and deeper life-unities - the merging of the ideals of aristocracy and democracy in a better social order, and the fulfilment of the national ideal in the international, as Humanism pursues its inevitable upward course towards its own transcendence. The conviction compelling the effort is that the realisation of these several purposes is to be sought either in their reconciliation or nowhere. And if the attempt to comprehend so much within a single aim is daring, yet it is not so reckless, in view of the whole Humanist tradition, as the attempt to work or think on these matters in isolation.
