Description

Excerpt from The Sacrifice of Education to Examination: Letters From All Sorts and Conditions of Men On two criticisms of a rather popular kind I should like to touch. It has been said that we, who have protested, desire to protect education from the competition that prevails everywhere in the world. If we did, we should undoubtedly fail in our effort, and deserve to fail. Competition is the path by which all improvement comes to us. But the natural and healthy competition Of method against method, each seeking for the approval of the public, and a highly artificial competition, that assimilates all methods to one pattern, and draws its principal inspirations from the race-course, are two very different things, that must not be confused together. It is, I think, from a failure to make this distinction that one writer, slashing at us in rather desperate fashion, speaks of some of the proposals of the Protest as reactionary and anti-democratic.
