Excerpt from The Chronicles of Dawnhope The educational world is seething with new ideas - a new psychology, new theories of discipline, new methods of teaching, new subjects to be taught, new forms of expres sion. Everywhere they find a few fanatical supporters and a few fanatical opponents. Most people (headmasters included) are sometimes attracted by them, sometimes amused, and sometimes repelled. Time will sift them; whatever is valuable in them will remain and grow old, whatever is futile will be forgotten on the scrap heap. Mean while they are new ideas, and, as such, they are fair game. If they cannot stand the test of laughter they will not stand the test of time. And if we are never to laugh at new ideas, because a few people insist on treating them as new religions and a few others cannot distinguish between fun and fact, we shall become a nation of megalo maniacs, like the Germans before the War.
