Book Description

Excerpt from University Extension: Has It a Future? When Parliament, yielding to modern necessities, enacted compulsory elementary education, it forced on future generations a two-edged weapon. It was certain therefore that as the first generation of the new frégime grew to maturity, strong voice would be given to the necessity of yet further changes. The training of early life having been revolutionised, all the surroundings of later years were thrown out of gear. It was obvious that, sooner or later, our whole educational system would have to be recon structed. It is now being generally recognised that we cannot leave things as they are. The output of demoralising literature has greatly increased. An intellectual diet too exclusively of newspapers and novels threatens to emasculate the national mind.
