Excerpt from Primary Artisan Education
This book is the outcome of a deep sense of the unfitness of the primary schooling of to-day to prepare the artisan boy for his work in life and his duty towards the nation. During the twenty years I have been closely connected with primary schools, certain of their features have forced themselves on my notice: first, the longing with which the primary school boy looks forward to leaving school and entering work; second, the almost entire neglect of the school to look to the boy's future; third, the futility of much that is taught in the Schools; fourth, the indifference of the nation's schools to the inculcation in their pupils of a national sentiment. These features of the primary school, it seems to me, are a source of national weakness, and can be removed only by reorganizing primary schooling so that its tone and pursuits will reflect the activities, ideals and spirit of industry and nationality. Such a reorganization I have attempted to outline in this book.
Education finds its end in a conception of manhood.
