Summary "Means and Ends of Education" by John Lancaster Spalding is an educational treatise written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the philosophy and purpose behind education, discussing how it shapes individuals and society. Spalding argues that true education extends beyond mere academic instruction to encompass moral and spiritual growth, emphasizing the importance of truth and love as foundational elements in the educational process. The opening portion of the work explores the transformative power of education and literature, asserting that it enables individuals to cultivate and enrich their souls. Spalding reflects on the significance of literature as a means to connect with the wisdom of great minds throughout history, emphasizing that true learning arises from a passionate engagement with ideas. He asserts that education should inspire a deep sense of duty and promote a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and virtue, illustrating that education is not merely about acquiring facts but about becoming a better person, which can ultimately lead to a more just and noble society.
