ABSTRACT
IN the last chapter it was maintained that education as a social factor means the making of a citizen in a comprehensive sense, and that in that process the three chief educational instruments of our time-the home, the school, and the Church-must co-operate. Inevitably, and increasingly under the pressure of contemporary social and economic conditions, the school finds itself forced into being the chief of these three : but priority in time, and therefore priority of treatment, belongs to the home. What is the part to be played by the home in this creative task ? And with what success, or with what failure does it meet to-day ?
