The current crop of badly confused young persons and of juvenile delinquents points to an equal lack of understanding of how to produce socially adjusted and dedicated persons.

The sciences that study human learning, behavior, and adjustment have now pushed their research far enough to explain some of our current failures and so to make possible a considerable improvement in the educative process.
