It is obvious that the purpose of education will 
determine the content of the curriculum, the 
methods employed, the kind of education given to
children and young persons. This functional 
relation-ship is frequently overlooked. Until 
recently there were many educationalists who 
thought that education should be discussed 
without reference to the objectives and values of 
the community in which it was given. The number 
of such theorists lessens under the impact of 
modern conditions, but there still exist many who 
appear to think that problems of the curriculum 
can be dealt with in this abstract manner.

purpose of education and the values of the 
community
