Synopsis
Excerpt from University Extension: Has It a Future?
When Parliament, yielding to modern necessities, enacted compulsory elementary education, it forced on future generations a two-edged weapon. It was certain therefore that as the first generation of the new frégime grew to maturity, strong voice would be given to the necessity of yet further changes. The training of early life having been revolutionised, all the surroundings of later years were thrown out of gear. It was obvious that, sooner or later, our whole educational system would have to be recon structed. It is now being generally recognised that we cannot leave things as they are. The output of demoralising literature has greatly increased. An intellectual diet too exclusively of newspapers and novels threatens to emasculate the national mind.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
