The village college ...... would provide for the whole man,
and abolish the duality of education and ordinary life.
. It would not only be the training ground for the art of living,
but the place in which life is lived, the environment of a
genuine corporate life.
The dismal dispute of vocational and non-vocational
education would not arise in it.
It would be a visible demonstration in stone of the continuity
and never ceasingness of education
The dismal dispute of vocational and non-vocational education
would not arise.
