Steps towards Educational Reform: Some Practical Suggestions for Improving our National System

Originally published in 1913, this text was written in anticipation of the King’s Speech for that year, which was due to include a Bill for the development of a National System of Education. The text puts forward the view that ‘unless the Bill succeeds in making the most of the movement for reform springing from the schools themselves, it can but grant opportunities which will be incompletely utilised’. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of education and educational reform.
