ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes to give an account of the English representatives of schools that represented by Germans, and by Frenchmen different schools of thought, Ascham, Milton, and Locke. Roger Ascham was born in 1516. He entered St. John's College, Cambridge, in the year 1530, a well-grounded boy of fourteen. John Milton divides his scheme of education into three parts: Studies, Exercise, and Diet. In order to do justice to his method people must remember that he does not conceive any education possible except through the Latin or Greek tongues. In Milton's institution the vacations were intended to be short, but the time was not all to be spent in work without a break. In conclusion Milton anticipates some of the objections which might rise against his plan, on the score of impracticability, its aiming at too high standard. He admits that a scheme of this kind cannot carry out except under the favourable conditions, with teachers and scholars above the average.
