"There have been two great impulses
toward education in the United States.
First the desire for personal culture-j
an inheritance from the aristocratic
ideal of Europe. The second impulse
came with the sudden commercial ex-
pansion of our great Middle Western
cities,"said Miss Eleanor N. Adams,
president Oxford College for Women,
speaking on "Increasing Group Con-
sciousness Among Women as Regards
Education." "The lower school urged

of our educational impulses in this
country-intensive training for good
citizenship and service to society. This
latter ideal has not sprung as a
Phoenix from the ashes of the old sys-
tem, for its foundations have been
carefully laid by many earnest work-
ers who only lacked the support of
public opinion in the rearing of their
superstructure. As a rule the educa-
tion of any individual terminates with
the necessity to go to work; the prac-
tical value of his education is of pass-
ing moment. This haphazard method
cannot keep up with the constant
change in intellectual, industrial and
civic needs. A certain group conscious-
ness among women of these unsatis-
factory conditions are observable as
far back as the formation of the Kin-
dergarten association, followed in
rapid siccession by mothers' clubs,
parent-teachers' associations and
other agencies which promote intel-;
ligent co-operation between teacher
and home. All these efforts have been
stabilized by the activities of the Fed-
eration of Women's clubs."
"The greatest obstacle to securing9
life giving fresh air to school children
is the belief on the part of the busi-
ness men on the school board and the
engineers and janitors in the schools
that artiicial ventilation is a Heaven
sent institution! When these indi-
viduals are converted, and teachers
made health enthusiasts by sound
courses in the normal schools on child
health and feeding: when parents
learn that stale overheated air is a
poison both at school aid at home, and
we all work on the principle that,
health habits are the fundamentals of
education-then it will no longer be
necessary for a child to ask as one
did in Chicago-'Say, Doctor, how
sick's a feller got to be to get into this
here open air school?" said Miss Alice1
H. Wood, of the Elizabeth McCormick
fund, Chicago, speaking on "A Practic-
al Demonstration in Health Educa-
ion"
"The lessons of the draft showed us
that the homes and the schools of the
nation had not been successful in pro-
ducing a vigorous young manhood 100
per cent eff*lent for national defense.
The homes and the schools must.now
combine to improve their human pro-
duct,"
"There are many forms of group con-
sciousness among the people of our
time. There is a community conscious-
ness of local interests as distinct from
those of other communities. There is
among immigrants and their descend-
ants a racial consciousness of peculiar
customs and creeds; there is a class
consciouness among groups of work-
Ingmen of their economic solidarity in
conflict with capitalism. There is a
consciousness among an increasing
class of women of the essential unity
of their rights as women to readjust
the existing social order so far as it
is confused by any injustice surviving
from a bygone age," stated Miss Mar-
garet S. McNaught, commissioner of
elementary schools, Saqramento, Cal.,
in her speech on "Responsibility in
Group Consciousness."1
"The group consciousness of com-
munities and of races need not concern
us long. We may dismiss the first be-
cause one American community is so
much like another that any conflict of

"There remain the two forms of
group consciousness that have a claim
upon our attention, our study and our
energies; the laborers' consciousness
that they are entitled to a larger
share of the profits of their labor than
they have had in times past or have
now; and the consciousness of wom-
en that they are entitled to a larger
share in the world's work, the world's
rewards and the world's honors.
"The consciousness of opposing eco-
nomic interests between labor and
capital is the outcome of the change
that has come over the industrial con-
ditions of the people of the United
States in the developments of the past
50 years."
* * *
"Great gains have come to labor and
through labor to the nation, as a re-
sult of the class consciousness of
workingmen. In the old ays, it was
only here and there that some man
more strong, more skillful, or with
larger business capacity than his com-
rades rose by good fortune from the
ranks of the ill-paid hired men to the
ranks of the employing class; but now
by unity of effort and class co-opera-
tion, all workingmen have advanced
to a higher standard of living than was
possible 50 years ago.
"Today, however, this class con-
sciousness menaces the prosperity of
civilization. Wisely led it has the
Spotency of becoming 'one of the highest
contructive forces mankind has ever
exerted; but ill-directed it is porten-
tous of industrial disturbance, civil
discord and ruin.
"As education did not cause this class
consciousness, neither can it set it
aside. Our responsibility in connec-
tion with it therefore begins and ends
with our duty as educators to con-
tinually remind both the contending
'groups of their solidarity with the gen-
eral interests of the community and of
the nation. That solidarity is the
base upon which rests alike the pros-
perity of both capital and labor. Each
side must be brought to understand
beyond all-doubting that in their con-
