On the Firing Line in Education

A series of essays argues for practical reforms in public education, emphasizing physical development alongside intellectual and moral training. The author advocates systematic attention to sense‑organ care, especially vision, and to physical education as integral to school work. Other pieces examine relations between state universities and secondary schools, the preparation and classroom role of university teachers, and the proper function of teachers colleges. The volume promotes vocational guidance, educational surveys, and the inclusion of educational psychologists in school systems. Several chapters discuss cooperation among home, church, and school and propose concrete administrative and curricular improvements supported by wartime experience.
