History of Education e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the present work I have given special attention to those portions Of educational history that are usually ignored or neglected, at the expense of those that are more generally known. This accounts for the chapter on Muslim Education and several others. And I have laid somewhat less stress on those portions of the history treated in the Great Educators, issued by the same publishers. Reference to the Bibliography will show that I have made very little use of previous histories Of education. The reason of this is, not that I failed to appreciate them, but that my aim was different from theirs. Some of my generalizations are, I know, open to ques tion. In defence, I have only to say that in all cases I have given what seemed to me best calculated to impart a. Comprehensive view of the entire subject. The quotations at the head of most of the chapters are intended as texts for lectures or discussions.
