About This Book

The author outlines a comprehensive programme for schooling that blends elementary literacy, languages, music, drawing, arithmetic, moral instruction, and regulated physical exercise. He advocates vernacular-first reading, merit-based selection and limits on school numbers, elementary provision for all and higher studies for some, including girls, alongside practical training for gentlemen and professionals. Detailed proposals address teacher training, school organization, specialized colleges, curricula, hours, buildings, choice of books, and forms of discipline. Practical concerns about overpressure, cooperation between parents and teachers, and methods to foster healthy bodies and minds recur throughout.
