A selection from Arnold's writing on education, other than Culture
and Anarchy. All the pieces stem from his work as Inspector of
Schools: they illustrate his concern both with the principles that
must be established as a basis for the education of an industrial
democracy and his practical concern with the day-to-day running of
schools. 'Democracy' was first published as the introduction to The
Popular Education of France. It faces the fundamental political
problems and outlines the general objectives of a state educational
system. 'A French Eton' was the result of the same examination of
French education to see what the British could learn from it; here
he considers private education for the middle-classes. 'The
twice-revised code' criticises the national Revised Code of 1862: a
system founded on gross utilitarianism. Extracts from Arnold's
reports as an inspector show the man of principle at work in
particular circumstances and relating what he sees to what he would
wish to see. The speech on his retirement comments on his lifetime
of active involvement in education.
