Introduction by Sir Michael Sadler and a chapter by Lord Shuttleworth. x, 365 pp; 4 b/w plates as called for. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First published in 1923 by John Murray. James Kay-Shuttleworth (1804-1877) was a physician, public-health reformer, and chief founder of the English system of publicly financed elementary education. Having obtained his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1827, James Kay-Shuttleworth worked as a physician in Britain's industrial towns where he became deeply concerned about the social and educational needs of the poor. In 1835 he became an assistant poor-law commissioner, and his efforts to educate pauper children in workhouses convinced him of the need for a national system of education and teacher training. In 1839 Kay-Shuttleworth was appointed first secretary to the council set up to administer the government's annual education grants. Together with E. Carleton Tufnell, he founded St. John's College in Battersea, London, which was the first training college for schoolteachers in England. He introduced a system for the inspection by government officials of those schools receiving a grant. He also expanded and improved the pupil-teacher system, in which intellectually promising youths aged 13-18 simultaneously taught in elementary schools and received secondary education from the heads of those schools. Kay-Shuttleworth's health collapsed in 1848 but throughout his retirement he continued to promote state education through numerous publications, including articles on the results of the Education Act of 1870. "Shuttleworth was a giant among public servants and the architect of a plan which three generations after his death became a completed structure. To him more than anyone else we owe a debt of gratitude for the fact that this country today is equipped with schools 'for the children of her people' and that this enormous task was completed without a major battle between Church, State and Local Authorities.' - Jacket blurb.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Studies in the Nature of Character' is a landmark empirical investigation into the development of moral behavior and personality in children. Conducted by researchers Hugh Hartshorne, Mark A. May, and Frank K. Shuttleworth, this work remains a foundational text in the fields of educational psychology and sociology. The study systematically explores the complex relationship between environmental factors, social influences, and the manifestation of traits such as honesty, self-control, and service.Through rigorous testing and data analysis, the authors challenge conventional notions of character as a fixed entity, instead presenting it as a dynamic set of responses shaped by specific situations. This work is essential for readers interested in the history of psychology, moral philosophy, and the scientific study of ethics. It provides deep insights into how character is measured and understood, making it a vital resource for educators and social scientists seeking to understand the roots of human conduct and the effectiveness of moral education.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
