Author Description

""Classical and Scientific Studies and the Great Schools of England"" is a lecture given by William Parsons Atkinson before the Society of Arts of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1865. In this lecture, Atkinson discusses the importance of both classical and scientific studies in education and the role that the great schools of England have played in shaping the educational system. He argues that a well-rounded education should include both the humanities and sciences, and that the great schools of England have successfully incorporated both into their curriculum. Atkinson also discusses the differences between American and English education systems and suggests ways in which American schools can improve by adopting some of the practices of the great schools of England. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education and the development of educational systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
