Rural populations continue to shift into cities...In the wake of this lose personal and local knowledge, the knowledge on which a country must ultimately stand, has come something hard to define but I think sinister and unsettling."

The Dangers of Traditional Education...
1 - formal education will cause students to worry about how to make a living before they knew who they are
2 - it will render students narrow technicians who are morally sterile
3 - it will deaden their sense of wonder for the created world
[this is not to blame education alone, but in conjunction with our culture, it is part of a greater decline...]
[pp 24-25]
