Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What the War Teaches About Education: And Other Papers and Addresses
That, in its several phases, is the theme of the papers and addresses in this book. They were not prepared to be brought together in this way. The reader will find repetitions for which we must ask his indulgence. They are due to the fact that the volume is a collection of papers and addresses rather than a consecutive treatment of a unitary theme.
Our thanks are due to the Educational Review for permission to reproduce the paper on Contemporary Ideals in Education; to the Yale Review for per mission to reproduce the paper Why We Get On So Slowly; to School and Society for permission to reproduce the matter in Chapters II, III, VI, VII, VIII, and IX; to Education for permission to reprint the paper on General Discipline; and to a score of friends for most helpful collaboration.
