Publisher's Synopsis
On Some Defects In Public School Education is a book written by F. W. Farrar, which is based on a lecture delivered by the author at the Royal Institution on February 8th, 1867. The book discusses the flaws and shortcomings of public school education in England during the 19th century. Farrar argues that the current system of education is failing to provide students with a well-rounded education that includes a focus on character development and moral values. He also criticizes the lack of attention given to physical education and the importance of outdoor activities in the curriculum. Farrar proposes several reforms to the education system, including the introduction of more practical subjects and the incorporation of moral and religious instruction. This book provides an insightful look into the education system of the past and offers valuable insights into the ongoing debate about education reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
