“What content do we currently teach that we can eliminate from the curriculum because it is not essential?”

Learning by Doing

We can succeed only by concert. It is not "can any of us imagine better?" but, "can we all do better?" The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.

You can do it!
