Summary "A Broader Mission for Liberal Education" by John H. Worst is a baccalaureate address delivered in the early 20th century, specifically in 1901. The book presents an argument regarding the purpose and significance of liberal education, emphasizing its role in preparing individuals for both practical and intellectual pursuits. Worst advocates for a more inclusive and practical approach to education that prepares students not just for traditional professions but also for agricultural and manual labor, reflecting the changing needs of society. In his address, Worst articulates a vision for education that transcends mere academic achievement, urging educators and parents to recognize the importance of equipping students with skills that are directly applicable to their lives and careers. He criticizes the outdated focus on classical studies that may not meet the demands of the contemporary workforce and calls for a curriculum that integrates scientific knowledge with practical applications. Worst highlights the intrinsic value of labor and asserts that every citizen should play a vital role in society, contributing to its growth and sustainability. He envisions an educational system that embraces all forms of work, elevates manual labor, and ultimately fosters a culture of intellect that is intertwined with the dignity of labor.
