Book Overview

""The Education Craze And Its Results: School Boards, Their Extravagance And Inefficiency"" is a book written by D. C. L. and first published in 1878. The book explores the rise of school boards in the United States and the United Kingdom during the late 19th century, and the consequences of their establishment. The author argues that the education craze of the time resulted in the creation of school boards that were often inefficient and extravagant in their spending. He suggests that the focus on education as a means to social and economic progress led to a neglect of practical skills and vocational training. The book also discusses the role of teachers in the education system, and the challenges they faced in working within the framework of school boards. The author suggests that teachers were often overworked and underpaid, and that their professional development was hindered by bureaucratic structures. Overall, ""The Education Craze And Its Results"" provides a critical analysis of the education system in the late 19th century, and raises questions about the role of education in society. The book is a valuable resource for historians, educators, and anyone interested in the history of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
