Abstract
The establishment in due course of young people's colleges having almost become the law of the land, this book could not have appeared at a more opportune moment. In a general Way, the story it tells is well known. In a couple of years, the day continuation school clauses of the Act of 1918 became, at any rate in the sense in which their author meant them, a dead letter—except at Rugby. The story with its sequel is here set forth by Mr. Kitchen, who since 1919 has been principal of Rugby College of Technology and Arts, and organizer of further education at Rugby. He describes his book as a simple account of a small-scale experiment for assisting youth in its dangerous crossing over the no-man's land between school and work, and he hopes its realism may prove a refreshing contrast to the chorus of reconstruction programmes now emanating from the idealists.
