Excerpt from Studies in Foreign Education: With Special Reference to English Problems

A Kind of tidal wave of unrest is at present sweeping through the English educational world, and the future outlook is still more unsettled, as the Government, through Lord Haldane, have recently indicated a possible reorganization or at least readjustment of our system of national education. The spirit of inquiry and discontent has invaded even the most cloistral of our schools, and time-honoured methods and traditional aims are everywhere being challenged and criticized. Instinctively we look abroad to see how our neighbours are faring, not without a hope that a careful investigation of their methods of dealing with similar problems may in some cases indicate a solution or a way out of our growing difficulties.

The present volume of collected studies is concerned with a large number of such thorny questions. The first and longest, which has already appeared as a Board of Education special report, deals with some of the principal controversies connected with secondary education in France and England.
