Description
Excerpt from A Brief History of Education: A History of the Practice and Progress and Organization of Education
The present volume is an abridgment and condensation of my History of Education, issued in 1920, and has been prepared to meet the needs of normal schools and colleges which desire to teach the general history of education, but which do not have the time or the inclination to go into the subject in such detail as IS glven in the larger volume above referred to. The general plan of the two books is the same.
Like the larger History of Education, the present volume is a history of the practice and progress and organization of educa tion itself, rather than a history of educational theory, and pre sents the history of education as a phase of the history of the rise and development and spread of our Western civilization. As in the larger volume,'' I have ''tried here to present such a picture of the rise, struggle for existence, growth, and recent great expan sion of the idea of the improvability of the race and the elevation and emancipation of the individual through education as would be most illuminating and useful to students of the subject. To this end I have traced the great forward steps in the emancipation of the intellect of man, and the efforts to perpetuate the progress made through the organization of educational institutions to pass on to others what had been attained.
