About This Item
New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1943. first edition. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear, toning to endpapers, text clean, binding tight./no DJ. 8vo 186pp. December 1943. from Preface: "The immediate occasion of this book is the war, which in the United States has almost completely suspended liberal education. Whether it should have done so is among other things a military question, and as such it is not argued here. The war itself is seldom explicit in the discussion, which is more concerned with the kind of liberal education that must someday be restored, and which assumes that this can be better than the kind now suspended. The need at the moment is for a definition of liberal education whenever and however it manages to exist. I take its necessity for granted, and believe that at any time, but particularly after the war, it should be as good as possible." #01714.
