Sinopsis

Excerpt from Steps Towards Educational Reform Some Practical Suggestions for Improving Our National System

It is strongly held by many well able to judge, that the general vigour of English Education has not increased with increased administrative activity. Some of the best features of a less highly organised state of affairs have disappeared. English Education requires at the present time something to increase its vitality and freshness. It is like a patient who is somewhat stale in tone, and requires change of air, nourishment and a tonic; but may get instead of these merely more visits from the doctor. Its immediate needs are a health giving faith from the general public, the nourishment of increased State aid and the tonic of a better knowledge of Educational Science; let us hope that it will not get instead of these a further development of oflicialdom.

An experience bringing the writer into contact with schools of varying types and with teachers of all classes may, it is hoped, be considered some excuse for his rushing in with certain definite practical proposals where others display a more angelic reticence. He hopes that the Bill will give the craftsman a new sense of power, the idealist further scope for activity; but he believes that in Reform from within is to be found the only efi'ective guarantee that additional national expenditure will result in a better national system of Education.
