Synopsis The thesis what will be maintained is that philosophical of education is a branch of social ethics directed to the establishment preservation and direction of the educational society whether at the level of the nation, the state, the system, the school or the class-room. This preliminary excursion then, into what the philosopher generally calls epistemology and the social scientist calls methodology is intended to provide the student with some notion of the also and this is no less important show him something of the relation of a philosophy of education to other areas of study and its place in the hierarchy of knowledge. The school must see the child rather than subject-matter as the central focus of education. The school must revolve around the child-his needs, his development and his activities. Now for a few very general remarks about the further of child study. In the first place I believe it will show us the values of individuality. Children are different, they are all alike in being different, we must not forget that success in life depends upon the development of each individual in the particular line which he excels.
