Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book includes a historical discussion on the development of the Canadian education system in the 1800s. The author, a professor at University College, presents a first-hand account of the tensions between political leaders and educational reformers. He explores the evolution from a classical curriculum rooted in Latin and Greek toward a modern, practical system that would meet the growing and changing needs of Canadian students, preparing them for the tasks of leadership and nation building in the 19th century. The author also discusses the role of religion in education in Canada and argues for a secular approach, using examples from other countries to support his view. All in all, this detailed account of a pivotal moment in Canadian history is a valuable resource for scholars of both education and history.
