Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an inaugural address delivered to educators and leaders of the newly established Brighton Athenæum, an institution devoted to the moral and intellectual development of the cityâs working-class population. The author asserts the critical importance of institutions such as this, particularly in a period marked by rapid technological and social change. He argues that all members of society should have equal opportunity to nurture their minds and spirits, and laments the widespread intellectual and artistic apathy he sees around him. The author calls for the provision of greater access to knowledge and educational opportunities for all, and for the pursuit of a higher moral purpose in the conduct of human affairs. This book will appeal to students of social history and educational theory, as well as to any reader interested in the power of education to transform lives and societies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
