Excerpt from Educational Experiments in England
I thank the editors of Child Life and of Women's E mploy ment for permission to make use of some of my articles. I give my warmest thanks to Mr. Edmond Holmes, who has most kindly helped me both by his advice and by looking through the type-script; to Miss K. M. Clarke for her help in Chapter III to the two friends who have contributed descriptions of experiments, and to the many long-suffering heads of schools who have endured both my visits to their schools and my accounts of them. Owing to delay in publication, some schools may feel that the accounts of experiments are not quite up to date, but, as many other schools will go through similar experiences, it is hoped that these accounts will prove helpful.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the evolution of education in England, exploring the dramatic changes that occurred from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. The author vividly depicts the stark contrast between the era of "stirring in sleep," characterized by widespread ignorance and limited opportunities for girls, and the burgeoning educational movements that emerged in the latter half of the 19th century. The book delves into the establishment of women's colleges, the rise of training colleges for teachers, the challenges faced by female educators, and the growing interest in child study. The book highlights the pivotal role of publications like Punch in raising awareness about educational inequities, particularly the plight of governesses. It also explores the growing debate surrounding co-education, a concept that was met with initial resistance but ultimately gained momentum as educators began to recognize its potential. The author sheds light on the various social, cultural, and political forces that shaped education during this period, including the influence of figures like William Morris and the emergence of new educational movements such as Froebelianism. The book offers a unique perspective on the transformation of education in England, revealing the gradual shift from a system focused on rote learning and rigid structures to one that emphasized individual development, practical skills, and social responsibility. The author's insights into the changing roles of women in education provide a valuable historical account of the challenges and triumphs they faced in their pursuit of a more equitable and fulfilling educational landscape.
