Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Education Through Settlements
It will be generally agreed that the education of the adult population of this country is an urgent and immediate necessity. All schemes for the reconstruction of society, if they are to be effective, must be based upon education. Unhappily, as a people, we are but ill-equipped for the Herculean task of creating the new world of which we are always hearing and whose advent we so ardently desire, and there is no task awaiting the social reformer comparable in importance to that of raising the intellectual and spiritual standard of the community to whom that new world will mean so much.
