Race Relations and the Schools Social Differences in English Education

Abstract

IN his highly appreciative foreword to "Race Relations and the Schools", Dr. G. P. Gooch lays it down that "conduct as a rule is determined by tradition and sentiment, and it can only be changed by greater knowledge, wider imagination and deeper insight". He reminds us that "their traditional values and way of life are as real and precious to coloured peoples as are ours to us, and that we can be proud of our own civilization without exhibiting a complacent and justly resented superiority complex."
