Description

Educational Reform: Essays And Addresses is a book written by Charles William Eliot, first published in 1898. Eliot was an American academic and the longest-serving president of Harvard University. In this book, he presents a series of essays and speeches that address the need for educational reform in America.The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the importance of education in a democracy and the need for a broad and liberal education. Eliot argues that education should not only focus on the acquisition of knowledge but also on the development of character and the cultivation of good citizenship.The second part of the book deals with specific issues in education, such as the role of the teacher, the importance of physical education, and the need for vocational training. Eliot argues that teachers should be well-trained and well-paid, and that physical education should be an integral part of the curriculum. He also advocates for vocational training as a means of preparing students for the workforce.The third part of the book focuses on the role of universities in society. Eliot argues that universities should be centers of research and innovation, and that they should be open to students from all backgrounds. He also discusses the need for universities to be responsive to the changing needs of society.Overall, Educational Reform: Essays And Addresses is a thought-provoking book that addresses important issues in education. Eliot's ideas are still relevant today, and the book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in education reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
