Enlightened opinion in present-day America accepts it as axiomatic that education is and should be intimately related to all of the forces at work in our social order. It regards education as a dynamic and vital factor in the development of our society. There are some, to be sure, who do not share this view. They feel that education should be kept in a vacuum in order to maintain its purity, and that teachers should be confined to a closely guarded cloister. The teacher is to be an intellectual virgin, innocent of all knowledge of and contact with the world of practical affairs and its problems. But for the most part these one-hundred-percent Americans, blinded by ignorance and emotion, and indulging in stupid rationalisations, must be ignored in any rational discussion of education. More often than not they are consciously beating political drums. They are the potential leaders and raw materials for an American Fascism. They are the night riders in the educational world. It is enough for educators to recognize them for the menace they are and to realize that should their ideas win wide acceptance throughout the country the very foundations of true education will be ruthlessly destroyed
