One of the first necessities of education today is a determination of its fundamental purposes. Shall it pass on information and skills of the past which will enable men to earn a livelihood, or shall it create varied personalities capable of living richly beyond material subsistence? Shall it develop industrial efficiency, or shall it teach men wisely to use the leisure which industrial development makes possible, nay, inevitable? Is its function to pass on attitudes, prejudices, beliefs of the past generation, or to produce critical thinking and ability to adapt oneself to a rapidly changing world? Shall education bulwark the status quo or take the lead in creating a new and better social order? These questions all educators must face. The Negro's answer to them is complicated by special problems of his own. Confusion of purpose is one of the most serious handicaps of Negro schools
