Excerpt from Education, Scientific Humane, 1917: A Report of the Proceedings of the Council for Humanistic Studies

Under the shock and stress Of the war, the aims and methods Of education have to be considered anew. This reconsidera tion, in the special conditions of the time, brings with it a risk that we may ignore elements in education vital to the forma tion and maintenance Of national character. A great war in which material means and technical skill are the most Obvious factors in deciding the issue, inclines a nation to prize these to the exclusion Of forces finally even more important; and if in our reforms we fix our eyes only on material ends, we may foster among ourselves that very spirit against which we are fighting to-day.

Excerpt from Education, Scientific Humane, 1917: A Report of the Proceedings of the Council for Humanistic Studies

This pamphlet is issued, at the request of the Council for Humanistic Studies, as a record of its efforts to promote harmony and co-operation in educational reform. So far, the unanimity arrived at relates to the principles, rather than the details, of secondary education; but if these principles are accepted, a considerable amount of unanimity will follow as to the details which arise from them. It may be hoped also that a spirit of harmony will be evoked which will facilitate the discussion of details.

Since its original foundation, the Council has received the adhesion of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, the Royal Society of Literature, the Royal Geographical Society, and the Royal Historical Society; and representatives of these bodies took part in the conference with the Board of Scientific Societies reported on p. 19.

Inquiries and correspondence with regard to the work of the Council may be addressed to me at the British Museum.
