Psychology in the Training of Teachers

Edward Joseph Shoben, Jr. - 1964

One still hears occasionally (and usually from odd quarters) the vaunt that psychology has "captured" education, and it is certainly true that there are few programs of teacher education which do not require a fair dose of psychology in the curricular regimen. Yet it seems abundantly clear that much of what parades under psychology's banner in the training of teachers is a dull display of complicated but trivial research, formal ideas that are cloudily abstract when perceived from the would-be teacher's angle of regard, and concepts that are bewilderingly remote from the gaiety and sadness of the human condition.

A New Year's Greeting to the Congress

Edward Joseph Shoben, Jr. - 1964

When Congress convenes this month, two specters will haunt the chambers of the House and Senate. One will be the long and generous shadow of John F. Kennedy, which, although time may lighten it, will lie across the deliberations on Capitol Hill forevermore. The other will be the invisible but dangerously omnipresent black panther which leapt for a tragic moment out of the breasts of Lee Oswald and Jack Rubenstein to remind us that it lurks always, claws unsheathed, in the deepest layers of us all. The memory of the President binds us warmly to what is genial, courageous, and reasonable in the human condition; but if we are wise, we will not forget the fanged wildcat, the emblem of our capacity for hatred and violence and the impulse to raw and vicious vengeance.

Conservatism�The Agony of Contradiction

Edward Joseph Shoben, Jr. - 1964

If the evil in man is so pervasive that it colors all his enterprises, then it stains the ventures of conservatives, too; and they must also subject themselves to checks and balances. Otherwise, this fundamental contradiction leads into the derivative ones that have been documented here, and the agony of conservatives becomes the agony of all of us.

Muscles and Money

Edward Joseph Shoben, Jr. - 1964

What can the President's adviser do to bring some clarity into the curious maze of complexity that now surrounds something so superficially simple as our physical health and hardiness? Nowhere are the issues more tangled than in our schools and colleges, where the problems of physical education and athletics are continually under scrutiny and rarely brought closer to solution.

The Liberal Temptation

Edward Joseph Shoben, Jr. - 1964

The temptation of the liberal is a twofold one�to be satisfied with mediocrity as an outgrowth of his egalitarian concerns, and to permit his quintessential outlook to become casehardened into doctrinal forms that quickly become anachronistic.
