Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book celebrates the 300th anniversary of Uppingham, a prominent English public school. Founded by Archdeacon Johnson in 1584, the school made slow, steady progress until the arrival of Edward Thring as Head Master in 1853. Recognized for his innovative teaching methods, Thring's vision included the construction of new facilities, the establishment of an East London mission, and the introduction of a carpentry workshop, metal shop, and forge for hands-on learning. At its core, Uppingham's success is due to two principles: every boy is given a fair chance to succeed, and the implementation of good working machinery, such as having form masters oversee work to be done later. As this commemorative volume looks ahead to the next century, it imagines Uppingham continuing to innovate, producing notable scholars and leaders, and maintaining its position as one of the most prestigious schools in the country. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
