Black Paper 1: Fight for Education. Black Paper 2: Crisis in Education. Black Paper 3: Goodby Mr. Short.

Critical Quarterly Society, London, 1969. First Editions, Softcover. Very Good Condition. Contributors include: Kingsley Amis, Angus Maude, Bryan Wilson, John Sparrow, Max Beloff, Robert Conquest, Cyril Burt, Derek Colville, Richard Lynn. The Black Papers were a series of articles on British education, published from 1969 to 1977 in the Critical Quarterly; their name intended as a contrast to government White Papers. The Black Papers were not opposed in principle to progressive education, only to its excesses, which were rampant in British schools in the 1960s and 1970s. They criticised selection for grammar schools at the age of eleven and advocated it should be delayed until children were at least thirteen years of age. They criticised the student sit-ins which were damaging the reputation of British universities..The editors became leaders in a national campaign; today the Black Paper proposals for schools by and large are accepted by both the Conservative and Labour Parties in Britain. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 80 & 160 & 126 pages. 3-volume set (complete). no Dust Jackets as published.. Black titles spine. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.

Elliott, R.W.

The Story of King Edward VI School, Bury St. Edmunds

The Foundation Governors of the School, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, 1963. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. A history of the foundation of King Edward VI in Bury St. Edmund's must take into account three items relating to the years before 1550 - the mediaeval school in SchoolhaIl Street, the dissolution of the Benedictine monastery, and the confiscation of chantry lands in the town and neighbourhood. A College of Secular Priests had existed in Bury from the time of Athelstan in the tenth century. It was to that college that the body of Edmund was brought in or about the year 903. It is usually considered certain that wherever there was such a college there was a school associated with it, not a school for supplying the needs of the Church alone, but a school which opened the doors of knowledge to its scholars by giving them an intimate knowledge of the language in which all man's knowledge was expressed in Western Europe, namely Latin. Such a school was known as a Grammar School, and its one aim was to teach Latin to such a standard that it became the means of ready conversation and of easy reading, so that in fact it would be as feasible to attend Leyden University as Cambridge. In the early eleventh century King Canute came to Bury, turned out the secular priests and replaced them by twenty monks from St. Bennett's at Hulme in Norfolk and from Ely. The College thus became a Benedictine Monastery, one of the five largest in the country in course of time, and a monastery of great wealth and renown because of its connection with St. Edmund. It had within its control the whole of the Liberty of St. Edmund, an area roughly identical with the administrative area of West Suffolk today. The townspeople bitterly resented the rights and privileges of the Abbot, so well demonstrated by the Palace he occupied, a resentment that showed itself in open rebellion at times, and the destruction of monastic property.

Fletcher, Frank

After Many Days: A Schoolmaster's Memories

Robert Hale Ltd. London, 1937. Third Impression, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. Public Schools have long served as the target against which the arrows of certain critics of our educational system have been directed. All kinds of eulogies and condemnations have been uttered for and against them, some well-informed, others very much the opposite. This book contains the reminiscences of a man who probably knows as much about Public Schools as any living person. Mr. Fletcher's brilliant career began at Rossall and Balliol, where he was a distinguished classical scholar. On going down, he became an assistant master at Rugby; in 1903 he was appointed Master of Marlborough and in 1911 he became Headmaster of Charterhouse, which post he held until 1936. Through the difficult period of the War and the years of unrest that followed, Mr. Fletcher played an important part in the moulding of the destinies of thousands of young men. His views and experiences will prove fascinating reading not only to those who have known him at Rugby, Marlborough and Charterhouse, but also to all who are interested in the past, present and future of our Public Schools. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 288 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. foxing to inside of dust jacket. Dust Jacket has light edge-wear & fading to spine, now in archive acetate film protection. Previous owner's signature in ink to fep.. Top edge red.

School for Life: A Study of the People's Colleges in Sweden

Faber & Faber, London, 1944. First Edition, Blue Cloth. Near Fine/Good. gilt titles spine; deckled outer edge; illustrated by b/w. photo's.; "this book is the first to be published in England, giving an account of the Swedish folk High Schools or People's Colleges. It is the outcome of the author's investigations in Sweden just before the outbreak of war. More recently, she has had the advantage of assistance from the Royal Board of Education in Stockholm and from personal friends in Sweden, in bringing the matter fully up to date by the inclusion of recent statistics. The author makes clear the relevance of the Swedish experiments to the future of adult education in England. She discusses the merits of the residential system compared with the system of evening classes, draws comparisons between the Swedish colleges and the nine institutions existing for similar purposes in England, and makes suggestions for our post-war development. From the study of the Swedish colleges, and the part they have played in creating a body of democratic citizens with a keen interest in their social problems, their country's history and their own traditions in musk and art, there is a great deal ; by which we can profit."; previous owner's bookplate inside front cover plus her name (Dora Smith ob fep.; price-intact but edge-worn D/J.; 99 pages.

A History of Norwich School: King Edward VI's Grammar School at Norwich

Friends of Norwich School, Norwich, Norfolk, 1991. First Edition, Softcover. Fine Condition. 9780951856116 Many of the leading British schools have recently published Histories of themselves or are about to do so. Norwich has decided not to be behindhand, especially as its record over the centuries has been an outstanding one which deserves commemoration. The present foundation derives from a patent of King Edward VI issued in 1547, but his new school carried on the traditions of learning pioneered from the end of the eleventh century by its ecclesiastical predecessors. Devoted mainly to the study of the Classics until the early twentieth century, it has since established itself in many Humanities subjects and in Natural Sciences, as well as encouraging a multiplicity of "other activities" outside the classroom. The impressive list of Old Boys includes distinguished soldiers, the greatest of all admirals, an archbishop and numerous other bishops, formidable judges, scholars and literary men, and latterly scientists and leaders of commerce and industry. Intra muros a long list of characters has added spice to its annals. Few similar institutions can have enjoyed the ministrations of such outstanding and idiosyn-cratic headmasters as Dr. Parr, Mr. Valpy, Dr. Jessopp and Stuart Andrews. Of these Parr was possibly the greatest scholar, Valpy the severest disciplinarian, and Jessopp and Andrews the most far-seeing and innovative. There has not been space for study of the ushers and assistant masters, but many of them too were gifted men and memorable characters.

privately published, Oxford, 1994. First Edition, Softcover. Near Fine Condition. 9780907383413 loosely inserted signed compliments slip from the author; b/w. frontis. portrait of Jeune; Undergraduates nowadays who go up to Oxford do so from a very wide spectrum of family backgrounds and occupations, While there, they have a remarkable variety of subjects to study. They are likely to have tutors in other Colleges than their own; and they may well attend lectures given by Professors who enjoy a worldwide reputation, After graduating, they will disperse not into just four or five professions (politics, law, academia, medicine, or, especially, the Church) but into one of a hundred or more occupations, No one man can be regarded as responsible for the transformation of Oxford University from being an adjunct to the Church of England, designed to produce clergymen from the sons of clergymen, to its present slate; but if two men, more than any others, can justifiably claim the credit, they are William Ewart Gladstone and Francis Jeune. This brief study gives an account of the remarkable, and remarkably consistent, career of Francis Jeune. It was his, and the University's, good fortune that, at the critical time, Gladstone was Member of Parliament for the University Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 116 pages.

A Concise History of the University of Cambridge

Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 1996. First Edition, Softcover. As New. 9780521439787 Cover photographs (front - General Admission to Degrees, and rear - the Great Gate of Trinity College) by Paul Langham. This concise illustrated history of the University of Cambridge, from its thirteenth­century origins to the present day, is the only book of its kind in print and is intended as a standard introduction for anyone interested in one of the world's greatest academic institutions. Many individuals are celebrated here who have exerted great influence upon developments within the University and beyond. But forces for change have often come from outside the University, from the Crown or the Church, from central government or from the aspirations and expectations of society at large. One of the prime objectives of the book is therefore to describe how the University has reacted to, or resisted, these external pressures. At the same time it conveys an impression of the day-to-day experiences of students and their teachers and administrators over the University 's 800-year history. Major University institutions, such as the University Press and the University Library, are also described briefly, while for recent years there is information not readily available elsewhere on the official sources and on the dates at which different academic disciplines have offered courses to undergraduates and graduates. In addition the book contains many attractive and often unusual illustrations of subjects ranging from medieval manuscripts to the striking new building projects of the 1960s.

Montessori, Maria

The Secret of Childhood

Orient Longman Ltd. Bombay, India, 1982. Reprint, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Very Good. Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician, teacher, and innovator, acclaimed for her eponymous educational method that builds on the way children naturally learn. She opened the first Montessori school, the Casa dei Bambini, in Rome in 1907, and today there are more than 22,000 throughout the world. Before anything else, this book is a description of the child, seen with the exactness of a scientist and the empathy of a warm heart. From this understanding grew the way of teaching based on collaborating with the needs and powers of a child and the removing of obstacles to this growth that has come to be known as the Montessori Method.

"A Hundred Years of Education " - King William’s College - Isle of Man 1830—1930

Trustees of King William's College, Douglas, Isle of Man, 1930. First Edition, Softcover (Side-stapled). Very Good Condition. b/w. frontis. illustration of King William's College. This little book will fill a long felt want. It is a curious fact that, apart from the ordinary registers and statistics, no attempt has heretofore been made to record the circumstances attending the foundation and the progress of King William’s College. The fact is the more curious in view of the very prominent influence which the School has had, and still has, in the scheme of Education 1n the Isle of Man, and of its high standing in England. Canon Owen’s timely researches have brought to light, and show in proper perspective, the close relationship of the College to the progress of Education here, and make clear the very important place which the only Public School must occupy in the whole sphere of Insular development. The book, however, does more than this. While recalling in permanent form the purposes which actuated the founders, it brings out most strikingly their breadth of view and their foresight. They projected a scheme which was not only to enable Manxmen to grow and compete on equal terms educationally with inhabitants of other portions of the British Isles, but was to be the nucleus of even higher ambitions. It has, through the untiring zeal of a long line of distinguished Heads, maintained a high and worthy tradition. It has been an important factor in the progressive development of the educational policy of the land. It has been the means, especially of recent years, of opening up to Manx boys opportunities of honourable service and distinguished careers in the world, both within and without the Empire, which would otherwise have been hopelessly closed to them.

Roberts, S. C.

British Universities [Britain in Pictures series]

Collins, London, 1947. First Edition, Hardcover (Printed Boards). Very Good Condition/Very Good. Mr. Roberts, in a final summing-up of his subject, concludes that "A University should surely be wide enough and catholic enough to educate men and women in the art of living as well as in the arts and sciences." To-day, with ever in¬creasing opportunities for students to complete their education at a University, the whole subject of University education has become of the greatest interest and importance to us all. The Universities of to-day are modelled on an old tradition and even the youngest of them have taken over something of the traditions of the oldest foundations which date back to the twelfth century. It is for this reason that Mr. Roberts' account of the early history of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and of the first Scottish Universities is especially valuable. In this book, too, he gives an admirably clear picture of the actual working of a University, its functions and its organisation. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 48 pages.
