Book Description
Excerpt from What Should Secular Education Embrace? By pursuing this course, I shall be under the necessity of introducing a portion of my individual history - a perilous thing for a living author to do, and one which naturally ex poses him to the imputation of vanity and egotism: but as a counterbalance to this disadvantage, the development of the origin and progress of a writer's convictions may probably, with some readers, invest the abstract questions of which he treats with a greater living interest, while it will afford faci litice to all for deciding whether he is labouring under an idiosyncrasy of perception and judgment, or is advocating, however inadequately and imperfectly, really interesting and important truths.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Truth About Secular Education: Its History and Results The aim of the following essay is to elucidate several points in connection with our system of education about which the most improper and injurious fallacies are current among us. Various circumstances have forced the question of education upon our notice at the present time. The settlement of 1870 could not aim to be a final and ideal scheme, because it had to effect a compromise between religious sects, whose strength and fortunes were subject to variation. A good compromise has been well defined as a manoeuvre by which you take all you can get of a good thing, and wait until you can get more. The two parties to the compromise in 1870 may be described as the party that wanted much religious dogma taught in the schools and the party that would be content with little; a third party, that desired the total exclusion of religious dogma, was then too small to have a share in the deal. The event that thus brought the idea of a settlement once more into the practical area is that one of these parties - the ultra-dogmatic or denominational bodies - is considered by the other to have obtained undue favour at the hands of the late Government. Once more the war cries of the contending parties resound in the land, and a new compromise is said to be inevitable. In the meantime the third party has been steadily growing. Clerical influence has shrunk in the most remarkable manner during the last thirty years. Rationalism has, to judge from the enormous success of its publications, attained a very considerable power.

Excerpt from Education and Modern Secularism The writer of the following pages has asked me to write a few words by way of preface. I do so with ready willingness, glad indeed if I can help him to gain a hearing, and glad to express my own grateful recognition of the value of his work. It has been a rare pleasure to me to receive from an old member of my College, after an interval of suspended intercourse, a piece of work so thoughtful, so open-eyed, and so vigorous as the present essay.
