WHERE EDUCATION FAILS
"The business of education is the making of men," says the Edinburgh Review. "England at this time is making wealth rather than men. For threequarters of a century our educational system has been at work, and it has never succeeded in overtaking the social problem. If some traveller from a happier planet desires to read the record of our educational efforts he has but to look down on the faces of two million children with their school life behind them, waiting for the call of life, untrained, unfit, unhappy. It ia no matter for wonder that an impulse of educational onergy is running/ through the nation, that workers are looking across our unique educational 'past in search of aome inspiration for the future."
