Meaning of “Can we so educate a group of students…”
The educational question shifts attention from acquiring information to developing dependable moral judgment, which Washington treats as a central test of character formation.
Where does it come from?
Character Building, “Each One His Part,” Project Gutenberg #60484. Washington asks whether Tuskegee can educate an individual conscience that performs small duties thoroughly even when no audience is watching; the question closes that address’s argument about conscientious responsibility.
