Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Aspects of Modern University Education: An Address Delivered at the Closing Ceremony of the Session 1902-3, June 19th, 1903 The nineteenth century will always be memorable in the history of English education. Our Elementary system was for the first time organised under the control of the State; Secondary training, though not organised, was immensely improved in several kinds of schools; the education of women was lifted to a wholly new level; technical education was begun under the auspices of the County Councils; and, finally, a most remarkable development took place in the resources for teaching of a University type. This last change, indeed, is second in importance to none of those momentous changes which marked the Victorian age. Look back only a little more than seventy years, and consider what the situation was on the eve of the first Reform Bill. Oxford and Cambridge were then the only Universities south of the Tweed; and their position was far from satisfactory. The range of their studies was too narrow; they had not been keeping pace with the advancement of knowledge. Their social operation also was much too limited; it was practically confined to the wealthier classes, and to the members of one communion. They were out of touch with the nation as a whole; and the discontent with which they were regarded found expression in many different quarters. In the second half of the century, however, all this was changed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
