Produktbeschreibung
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. With the shortening of the hours of labour, one great obstacle to the growth of adult education is in process of being removed, and there can now be no health in the body politic until all the people are given access to those fountains of knowledge and wisdom which hitherto have only been open to the favoured few. The Settlement Movement which is described in these pages seems to be peculiarly adapted to present-day needs. It provides a method of approach towards the solving of our many problems along the lines of local effort, and seems destined to play a useful part during the next few decades in the intellectual and social emancipation of the people. The author writes from personal experience, and I fully share his belief in the enormous potentialities of the method he describes. It is impossible at this stage in the development of the Settlement idea to write about it with authority, but the virtue of this little book is that, while informed from actual experience it is alight with a healthy and refreshing imagination, and is full of information and stimulating ideas for the guidance of those who may be thinking of establishing such institutions.
