Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief History of Education
History has in the last seven or eight years lost some of its prestige; the world has been so busy in making history that it has had little leisure or taste for deciphering the annals of past ages, which seemed to offer no stimulus or message to the men of to-day. In any case, the War was hardly required to dim the prestige of the history of education; neither the Immortals of culture nor the mere men of expert research - if I may adapt the Horatian gibe at mediocre poets - have found a place for it in their scheme of things. In the voluminous and monumental Encyclopædia of Education, which is at present appearing in London, we search for it in vain under "History' or under "Education"; and the opinion of a statesman of such genial and catholic curiosity in the progress of culture as Lord Morley, who has himself contributed more than once to the literature of education, can be conjectured from this pungent jotting: -
Wasted the three hours of the journey on a book about grammar schools before Ed. VI. An important and laborious book, but bearing on no earthly task of mine (Lord Morley's Recollections, ii, 68).
