London Education (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from London Education<br><br>The Education Acts of 1902 and 1903 make, for the first time, all grades of education a public service. To construct a complete educational organisation for a city of five millions is no light task. This little book is an attempt to survey some of the problems thus presented to the London administrator.<br><br>Its subject-matter is, therefore, not politics but administration. It does not discuss what the law ought to be, or what we should like it to be, but the practical problem of organisation under the law. The parliamentary candidate, the party leader, and the statesman have, necessarily and legitimately, other considerations to take into account, in education as in all branches of the public service, besides administrative efficiency. Those considerations, important in their own sphere, find no place in these pages.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
