"What the establishment can't grasp is that you can get a better education from two years with VISTA or the Peace Corps than from four years in your major universities." Donald Eberly. The spirit of the above statement by Donald Eberly is also the guiding spirit of his proposals for national service as set forth in his recent book "National Service: A Promise to Keep." Eberly would like to bring a VISTA or Peace Corps sort of "service experience" to every young person who desires it, not only to those with specialized training or college experience. The notion that experience, especially service experience, can be highly educational & an impetus for personal growth is a root of the national service idea...Along with Eberly's interesting & informative narrative history of national service, the book contains a number of articles by Eberly & others, as well as an extensive bibliography on the subject. The sum is a fine resource for study & discussion of an important topic, one which may prove to hold solutions to many of the problems we face today & in the years to come.
