Excerpt from The Education of the Citizen Being a Summary of the Proposals of the Adult Education Committee, Prepared at the Request of the Workers Educational Committee
Government Reports are not usually read, except by relatively few people. As the Adult Education Committee itself points out, their very appearance is against them, and the likelihood of "blue books" being read is rendered even more remote when they are long documents.
Yet it is important that official Reports should be considered by all who take an interest in public affairs. In spite of their forbidding exteriors, all "blue books" are not the dry and uninteresting documents which their appearance would lead one to suppose. But however that may be, the deliberations of official Committees ought to be brought in some form before the citizens of the country.
This booklet is an attempt to present in an abbreviated form the conclusions reached by the Adult Education Committee of the Ministry of Reconstruction in their Final Report. It is hoped that it will bring before a wide public the far-reaching proposals made by the Committee, and secondly, that it will encourage the study of the Final Report itself.
