Publisher's Synopsis
""What Is And What Might Be: A Study Of Education In General And Elementary Education In Particular"" is a book written by Edmond Gore Alexander Holmes in 1912. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the state of education at the time, focusing specifically on elementary education. Holmes explores the various theories and practices of education, critiquing their effectiveness and proposing alternative approaches. The book is divided into two parts: the first part delves into the general principles of education, while the second part focuses on elementary education in particular. Holmes examines the role of the teacher, the curriculum, and the methods of instruction. He also discusses the importance of physical education, moral education, and vocational training in the development of a well-rounded individual. Throughout the book, Holmes emphasizes the need for education to be practical and relevant to the needs of society. He argues that education should not be solely focused on academic knowledge but should also provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the real world. ""What Is And What Might Be"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a historical perspective on education. It is still relevant today as it challenges readers to consider the purpose and effectiveness of education in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
