Abstract

The article remarks that the form and content of liberal education in the elementary and secondary schools will vary with the conditions, capacities, interests and attitudes of students. According to the author, effective liberal education teachers must understand the learning problems of the students and youth they are teaching. For instance in the elementary school level, the author had observed that the typical slum school with its disadvantaged children creates problems of discipline that must be solved before the teacher can begin teaching liberal education.
