Abstract
SOME time ago a document which, rather inaccurately, became known as the Board of Education's “Green Book”, was issued in order that ideas on the future shape of Great Britain's educational system might be discussed and clarified. Copies were not, for what seem to have been quite sound reasons, to be obtained by any save selected bodies. Almost inevitably, however, it appears to have become the most widely known ‘secret’ document of modern times. The result, nevertheless, has justified its preparation and circulation: for, ever since its issue, all kinds of bodies have embodied their own suggestions in pamphlets of varying hues. The National Union of Teachers was one of those bodies, and, more than a year ago, published its own “Green Book” under the title of “Educational Reconstruction”.
