The boys and girls now in school are the potential citizens of tomorrow. They represent the human resources needed for the process of development. Every classroom, laboratory, shop, or playground offers opportunities for the development of democratic methods and ideals, but such development requires guidance of youth in participation, from those concerned with their training. Technology has brought with it many problems in our cultural, social, and economic order. The effects of science and invention are being felt in almost all parts of the world, and are creating world, rather than individual, problems. The education of boys and girls demands that consideration be given to these problems, and that training for world citizenship be one of its goals. Again, if democracy is to survive and function effectively for the well-being of all the people, the school must accept its challenge, and provide students with the information, skills, and attitudes that will equip them to meet the problems of tomorrow. Youth must be trained to pass sound judgment on national and international issues and policies; and it must be equipped with values consistent with a philosophy of world-wide brotherhood. This should be the goal of all our institutions concerned with training youth for world-wide obligations and responsibilities. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
