Synopsis
Excerpt from The Religious Question in Public Education: A Critical Examination of Schemes Representing Various Points of View
From another point of view, however, the outlook in English education has in some respects greatly improved. On almost all sides there is a growing disposition to look fairly at the problem of public education as a whole, to review. It in the light of national necessities, to regard purely sectional criticism as inadequate, and to consider the question of religious teaching not simply by itself but in its intimate and necessary relationships to the whole course of study and as one factor in the character forming influences of school life. The scientific study of education, still in its infancy, but yearly growing stronger with the aid of medical research and sociological inquiry, has insensibly changed the tone of our discussions upon public education. We see things ina new light and from a new stand point, and each great section of Opinion has found reason to discard some of the presuppositions which it inherited, almost unconsciously, from an earlier state of things.
