The Great Educators.

A new series, by writers of wide educational experience, on the leading
movers in educational thought from the earliest time to the present day,
will be issued under the general title of "The Great Educators."

Much has been written of the great philosophical systems, and of the
lives of great thinkers and founders of schools of philosophical
speculation, yet nothing has so far been done to give a picture of what
is at least of equal importance, the educational effects of these
systems in the special periodical ethics of the world. It is not
surprising that these ethics, as applied to education, should change
with religions, with philosophical systems, even with periodical
revolutions, and historical development. But it is surprising that no
one has thought the subject sufficiently important to fix from time to
time the point of view obtaining as to these educational ethics.

It is now proposed, in a limited number of volumes, devoted more to the
systems and to the teachings of the greatest educators of the world than
to their lives, to show the different points of view, from which races
and times and climatic influences have determined the education of
mankind. The volumes will therefore range from Aristotle to Dr. Arnold
of Rugby.

Each subject will form a complete volume of about 300 pages, crown 8vo,
_5s._
