Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Lambethans, Past and Present: A Tribute; With a History of the School
IN these days, with Council Schools everywhere, and the edu cation of the children almost entirely in the hands of the State, it is well to call to mind the splendid voluntary efforts which Churchmen and others have made in the past to rescue the juvenile population from the darkness of ignorance and to provide the young with a sheet anchor by instilling into their minds some knowledge of those great truths of our Mother Church without which it is believed no true education is possible. There is also a tendency to reduce all schools to a dead level which would appear to be calculated to destroy or seriously injure the individualism of a school. Variety in management and curricula is desirable and is agreeable to the spirit of most English institutions. To reduce everything to one dead level by cast iron rules and red tape would be deplorable.
