Book Description

Excerpt from The Reorganization of Our Schools: Some Educational Postulates and Practical Suggestions as to the Organization of Schools If the author has read aright the signs of the times, as they appear in educational conferences and in popular discussions, there is now a really urgent demand for practical and reasonably definite suggestions as to the reorganization of our schools. There is especial need for a definite plan that shall show how to retain that which is essential to the general education of every future man and woman, at the same time that a place is found for the various forms of special, technical or other vocational training that may be necessary for the individual boy or girl. A year spent in studying not merely the schools, but the economic, political and social conditions underlying and overlying the school system of Germany has convinced the author that Europe at its best has not found a solution for the most pressing of our educational problems.
