The two theories chiefly associated with the separation of
learning from activity, and hence from morals, are those which
cut off inner disposition and motive — the conscious personal
factor — and deeds as purely physical and outer; and which set
action from interest in opposition to that from principle. Both
of these separations are overcome in an educational scheme where
learning is the accompaniment of continuous activities or
occupations which have a social aim and utilize the materials of
typical social situations. For under such conditions, the school
becomes itself a form of social life, a miniature community and
one in close interaction with other modes of associated
experience beyond school walls. All education which develops
power to share effectively in social life is moral. It forms a
character which not only does the particular deed socially
necessary but one which is interested in that continuous
readjustment which is essential to growth. Interest in learning
from all the contacts of life is the essential moral interest.

Intellectual thoroughness is thus another name for the attitude

we are considering
Intellectual thoroughness is thus another name for the attitude
we are considering. There is a kind of thoroughness which is
almost purely physical: the kind that signifies mechanical and
exhausting drill upon all the details of a subject. Intellectual
thoroughness is seeing a thing through. It depends upon a unity
of purpose to which details are subordinated, not upon presenting
a multitude of disconnected details. It is manifested in the
firmness with which the full meaning of the purpose is developed,
not in attention, however ‘conscientious’ it may be, to the steps
of action externally imposed and directed.
