Though many people may think the ideals put forward are entirely beyond the average teacher, and cannot be put into practice in ordinary schools, I can thus point at least to one institution in which I have seen many of the suggestions made in this book actually carried out. It may be that some of them are, at present, beyond most schools; but they will be recognised and practised as soon as teachers realise them as desirable, and have a proper understanding of the importance of their office.

Most of the recommendations apply, I think, to all countries, and to all religions, and are intended to sound the note of our common brotherhood, irrespective of religion or caste, race or colour. If the unity of life and the oneness of its purpose could be clearly taught to the young in schools, how much brighter would be our hopes for the future! The mutual distrust of races and nations would disappear, if the children were trained in mutual love and sympathy as members of one great family of children all over the world, instead of being taught to glory only in their own traditions and to despise those of others. True patriotism is a beautiful quality in children, for it means unselfishness of purpose and enthusiasm for great ideals; but that is false patriotism which shows itself in contempt for other nations. There are, I am told, many organisations within the various nations of the world, intended to inspire the children with a love for their country and a desire to serve her, and that is surely good; but I wonder when there will be an international organisation to give the children of all nations common ideals also, and a knowledge of the real foundation of right action, the Brotherhood of Man.

The school is a product of civilization. It became necessary because of the division of labor caused by the multiplication of the interests of mankind which made it impossible for the home to continue wholly to care for the training of its children. The history of education must not merely treat of the development of the school, but it must consider education in its broader meaning; that is, as a history of civilization. For this reason some of the great educators of the world who have not been school teachers, must receive consideration.

Örgütlerde planlı değişim gerçekleştirilmesi, örgüt geliştirme çabalarının yenilikçi yüzünü temsil eder. Amaç hem örgütün verimliliğine hem de çalışanların örgütteki mutluluğuna katkıda bulunmaktır. Bu çalışma ile planlı değişimin okullarda nasıl uygulanabileceğine yönelik bir çerçeve sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada planlı değişimin genel bir modeli kullanılarak, bir özel okulun performans değerlendirme sisteminin değiştirilişi; bu değişime karar verilmesinden, sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesine kadar tüm süreci içerecek şekilde ayrıntılı bir şekilde irdelenmiştir. Çalışmanın eylem araştırması kullanılarak desenlenmiş oluşu, okulda gerçekleştirilen değişimin hikayesini somutlaştırmaya olanak tanımış ve benzeri uygulamaları gerçekleştirmek isteyenler için gerçekçi bir tablo oluşturmuştur.
