Excerpt from Studies in Secondary Education
He who seeks to determine the requirements of any country as respects education, and to ascertain the extent to which those requirements are satisfied, finds it convenient to distinguish and consider separately three questions. (The first is the quantity of education provided, - that is, the number of the teaching institutions, and their sufficiency to provide teaching for the various classes of the community. The second is the quality of the education supplied, i.e. the adequacy of the teachers, of the methods pursued, of the studies prescribed to supply a sound instruction suited to the needs of the several classes. And the third is the relation established between the different sets of institutions which supply instruction of the elementary, the intermediate, and the higher or university type.
If, adopting this division, we take a rapid glance at the condition in England of that department of education-the department commonly called secondary or intermediate-which is dealt with in the present volume, we shall find its condition less satisfactory than that of the other two departments.
