Présentation de l'éditeur
It has been my aim in this little book to present natural laws, which have been slowly worked out by the labour of many minds. A successful nation is made up of successful units, and I have had primarily in view the parents who, having to think first of their childrens success in life, are dissatisfied with the existing state of things; under which, after an education costing at least a thousand pounds, large numbers, perhaps a majority, of boys leave school knowing nothing but a very moderate amount of Latin and Greek, quite insufficient to give them an interest in classical literature, and the rudiments of half-a-dozen other subjects, in none of which they take any real interest or can stand any test. Many parents also desire for their children more practical and manual training, more development of the social and artistic side of human nature, and a better acquaintance with the treasures of our English tongue, as well as greater care to avoid the moral disasters which are, alas! not of rare occurrence. To these I have tried to indicate a way of realizing their desires. Lawbie Park Road, Sydenham, Octobery
