Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Isolation in the School, Vol. 1: The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, (Department of Pedagogy)
The western peoples have found themselves in the nineteenth century confronted with such puzzling problems regarding the life of modern society that a new department of investigation has come to be recognized. As the method of the student of social conditions has advanced from the collection and classification of data to the search for those laws which permeate the social world, it has become evident that the school also must be subjected to examination from new and many points of view. Influences which are hostile to its best develop ment must be counteracted; not by wordy condemnations, but by making their opposites active.
