John Dewey
How can the child learn to be a free and responsible citizen when the teacher is bound?
John Dewey
In brief, the function of knowledge is to make one experience freely available to other experiences.
John Dewey
The bare fact that language consists of sounds which are mutually intelligible is enough of itself to show that its meaning depends upon connection with a shared experience.
John Dewey
Any genuine teaching will result, if successful, in someone's knowing how to bring about a better condition of things than existed earlier.
John Dewey
The outstanding problem of the Public is discovery and identification of itself
John Dewey
