Abstract
THIS book is of special interest at the present time, when attention is being directed to the future of education, and to the prospects of-a new start, based upon the ideals for which the War has been, and still is being, fought. The havoc wrought by the aggressors on educational systems in the occupied countries is here described; the problems that confront each of the countries are discussed; and the programme for reconstruction in the years following the final victory of the United Nations is presented. The book contains articles on Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, England, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Scotland, the Union of South Africa and the United States. The omission of an article on Soviet Russia is due to circumstances over which the editor had no control; and the absence of an article on Yugoslavia reflects the uncertain political situation in that country when plans for this volume were being made.
