Exercise, Thinking, Rewards
John Dewey, Jo Ann Boydston, Stephen Toulmin (2008). “The Later Works, 1925-1953: 1929”, p.209, SIU Press

To oscillate between drill exercises that strive to attain efficiency in outward doing without the use of intelligence, and an accumulation of knowledge that is supposed to be an ultimate end in itself, means that education accepts the present social conditions as final, and thereby takes upon itself the responsibility for perpetuating them.

It can be accomplished only piecemeal, a step at a time.
