Book Description

Excerpt from Educational Foundations of Trade and Industry The publishers take pleasure in offering to the public the present volume of the International Education Series. It is written by an English scholar who has made a reputation for his philosophic insight into the aims and purposes of the chief national systems of education at present in operation upon the continent of Europe. In the light of his broad general studies, Mr. Ware discusses the situation in Great Britain, and throws light upon home questions that are pressing for a solution. To those readers of educational treatises of a generation ago which served up only an inventory of national differences and peculiarities without tracing these to a common principle or any fundamental process, the writings of Mr. Ware are in the nature of a revelation. They afford enlightenment to the seeker after wisdom, while the mere inventory has a tendency to obscure one's vision by dividing and subdividing his attention upon a multitude of details without unity, and thereby laming his will or his power to act. The philosophic study of education traces the dead results - the facts or products of a system of education - into the processes which have produced it.
