Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 2 Art. 1. Account of the Edinburgh Sessional School By J. Wood. Edinburgh. 8vo. 1834. 2. Chamber´s Educational Course, 12mo. Edinburgh. 1835. 3. Practical Remarks upon the Education of the Working Classes; with an Account of the Plan pursued, &c. &c. at the Brenton Asylum, Hackney-Wick. By Charles Forss. 1835. "The "Schoolmaster is abroad," is one of those sayings which, becoming the watchwords of contending factions, are already in vogue, before any one has given himself the time or trouble to weigh well their grounds or meaning. It is to one party a word of gathering; to another, of denunciation: to one, every thing typical of progression, to another of decline and disorder. Both have given it far too much importance. The schoolmaster is abroad, but we have yet to look for the educator. It was a saying of Talleyrand´s, "que l´éducation de l´Angleterre, etait la meilleure de l´Europe, et puis c´etait detestable." To the first part of this sentence we have long ceased to have any pretensions; we have still to wipe off the reproach of the second. The education of England, in all its grades, is still detestable, that is, where there is any education at all. A few years ago, Lord Brougham made a declaration, at a public meeting in Yorkshire, quite as bold; and though the answers to Lord Kerry´s queries, have flattered us into a belief, that since that period we have made signal progress, and may now look the neighbouring nations in the face without shame, a very little reflection on the true nature of the question "sub judice," and some inquiry into the evidences offered for its support, will teach us that we are yet on the threshold, and, as far as the nation at large is concerned, have absolutely to begin. The fact is, we have no precise idea of what we are looking for, - educationists, and anti-educationists, are contending about everything else but education. Schoolmasters and school-houses are, in the mind of four-fifths of these gentlemen, the sum total of education.
