Standardization of Education Sparks Money Debate
Prof H G Brown argues money standard shackles education in an Indianapolis address to the Northern Indiana Teachers Association. He states few institutions can found colleges without $200,000, while a rich buyer can buy standardization, creating contrasts with true founders and the need to avoid money dictating school quality. He criticizes overly elective courses and urges education to remain holistic, linking vocational training and civics with general education.
