Abstract
THE fourth number of Polish Science and Learning, the series of booklets edited by the Association of Polish University Professors and Lecturers in Great Britain, is a specially educational issue. Several preliminary articles are contributed by American and British writers. Dr. Maxwell Garnett's theme is English education in relation to international problems. The makers of the Paris Peace, a quarter of a century ago, he says, took no account of education and little of economics, but relied on political pacts, unsupported by the thoughts and feelings of average citizens. All will agree that we must do better this time, though all may not agree with the details of Dr. Garnett's way of doing it. Prof. Powicke's article, though written for a different occasion, is wisely included, because of its explanation of Oxford's peculiar contribution to English life, the claims of mere learning being subordinated to the service which learning can render to English society. We may be amateurs, but we are not pedants.
