In the Child Himself

Finally got a copy of this little gem of a book!

“We are surrounded by voices crying first for one reform and then for another, a little here and a little there. Energies and finances are dissipated in a welter of theory, while what we seek, an education which draws out the best of every child and builds a nation of responsible citizens, eludes us at every turn of the road. The solution to our problems does not lie in more nursery schools, bigger comprehensives, …and the re-establishment of grammar schools. It lies in the child himself…in the realization that a child is born a person.” #
