Synopsis
Excerpt from The Position and Rights of Training Colleges Explained and Defended: An Inaugural Address Delivered to the Students of the Westminster and Southlands Training Colleges, on Wednesday, February 1st, 1882
If it was a pleasure in that Inaugural Address of 1878 to vindicate the character and position of Wesleyan Schools, and to show them stand ing on an eminence from which, as yet, they have not been dislodged, it was far from pleasant that so much of what I felt bound to say-should be of the nature of complaints respecting the conduct of individuals. It was much more congenial in the Valedictory' Address of the same year to speak, in the highest and largest sense, Of National Education, as related to the condition and needs of England: and, especially, to speak of the Teacher's duty at the present time to his country and to Christ in this matter of National Education. And, above all, it was with a feeling Of special satisfaction that I was able, two years ago, in my Inaugural Address, to follow throughout a purely professional - I might almost say a purely Professorial - Jim, and to offer expositions of principle and counsels in relation to College work and the proper aim and spirit of the student, all of which bore directly on the studies and the specific aims of students during the term of their residence within the Training Colleges. That Address contains truths which seem to me of primary importance for every student and every teacher to bear in mind, and arrangements have been made that it may be permanently available for the use of those for whose sake it was prepared.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by a prominent figure in the Wesleyan Church provides an illuminating analysis of the fundamental issues facing the educational system of Victorian England. The crux of the matter, the author states, is the secularist bid to wrest control of religious teacher training colleges. At stake was the very nature of British education itselfâ"one that was predominantly Christian in character yet adaptable to the times. The author argues that the success of secularists would be disastrous for the nation, resulting in a breed of teachers lacking in moral grounding and unable to effectively fulfill their role in shaping the minds of young people. The author offers a passionate yet reasoned defense of the teacher training college system as it stands, buttressed by detailed arguments regarding the fundamental differences between day schools and boarding colleges such as those in dispute. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of education in Britain and the continuing relevance of religious faith in the development of young minds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
