Common sense may be defined as the right kind of personality in action. It is practical intelligence and tact in behavior. It is the product of individual experience gained through contact with practical problems of life and through derived from success and failure. The principles derived from facts obtained through study and common sense acquired through direct personal experience should be integrated for the enlightenment and guidance of individual and social life. One of the soundest principles of education is the theory of working with nature rather than against it.
Principles change with the discovery of new facts, with change in social and moral values, and with their contained refinement in terms of evaluated application. To regard a guiding principle as a closed and eternal truth is infinitely worse than relying on a fixed technique because it involves the validity of a whole series of techniques.
