Abstract
THIS is a highly valuable contribution to the solution of present-day educational problems. Dr. H. B. Gray was joint author with Mr. S. Turner of a stimulating book issued in 1916 entitled “Eclipse or Empire?” The present work is the fruit of an extensive tour in the United States during the spring and summer of 1917, especially among the educational institutions of the prosperous States of the Far West least affected by European influences, and is a remarkable revelation of the spirit of enterprise shown by these States. The author is unstinting in his praise of the “magnificent and far-reaching measure“ known as Mr. Fisher's Education Act of 1918, from the operations of which he anticipates the most fruitful results for the future well-being of the nation.
