British Education After the War (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from British Education After the War

The appeal of this little book is to the national and Imperial citizenhood. It is a prayer for moral unity as the only sure basis of political and economic unity. It is prepared in a spirit of faith and confidence in the power of the British people to meet and fulfill all the tasks of reconstruction. Though details are often discussed in passing, my central endeavour has been to illustrate the simple proposition that the right aim of British education is Service of Family, Country, and Empire, based on Industry, inspired by History, and perpetually mindful of the claims of the larger circle of Humanity. I am gravely conscious that the demand for the application of the educational scheme to all young people up to the age of eighteen, with a guarantee of employment in the municipal, national, or Imperial service, will be regarded as extreme. But we live in an age of great issues and great responsibilities, and our ambitions and resolves must be equally great.
