C E M Joad

Romulus or the future of the Child
Robert T Lewis
Originally published in 1929.
"This interesting and stimulating book should be read by all…" Daily Chronicle
Concentrating on the pre-school child, this book pays particular attention to the question of the only child and advocates making nursery schools an integral part of our educational system. A guide to psychological and educational theory, this book challenges our accepted ideas of discipline, gives play its true importance in child education and helps the parent or carer in handling issues which most seriously affect the future of the child.

Procrustes, or the Future of English Education
M Alderton Pink
Originally published in 1927
"Undoubtedly he makes out a very good case." Daily Herald
"This interesting addition to the series." Times Educational Supplement
If everyone receives a higher education, who is going to do manual work? Can a man with a superior education be happy if he has to do heavy work? These are the questions which the author discusses. He also considers whether all children are qualified for anything more than a rudimentary education and discusses the modern day curriculum.
