Excerpt from A Guide to the Education Act: 1918 "The province of popular education is to equip the men and women of this country for the tasks of citizenship. All are called upon to live, many are called upon to die, for the community of which they form a part. That they should be rescued from the dumb helplessness of ignorance is, if not a precept of the eternal conscience, at least an elementary part of political prudence, to which the prospective enfranchisement of several million new voters, male and female, adds a new emphasis... But the argument does not rest upon grounds of political prudence only; but upon the right of human beings to be considered as ends in themselves and to be entitled, so far as our imperfect social arrangements may permit, to know and enjoy all the best that life can offer in the sphere of knowledge, emotion and hope." The Education Act of 1918 which Mr Fisher with great skill has just piloted through Parliament will stand with that of 1870 as a great landmark in educational history. A comparison of the two Acts shows how remarkable has been the development of English Education during the past half-century - an advance due to the increasing recognition on the one hand of the essential worth and dignity of the individual, and on the other hand of the urgent national necessity for the cultivation of the latent powers of the democracy if they are worthily to play their part in the life of the world of to-morrow.
