ABSTRACT

Most of the working-class children felt that all was well with their education, and they wanted the system that produced them preserved intact. But like all other research workers in this field we have our doubts. From the evidence we collected, there was good reason for concern – and there are improvements and suggestions to make. Perhaps the smaller ones are best handled first, and we begin by drawing to a point a series of local suggestions that may well have formed in the reader's mind.
