About this Item

Printed card covers( Sewn Paperback) 190 x 130 mm approx. 164 pp. The book is essentially a rewrite with numerous important additions born out of experience of "A Path to Freedom in the School." Mac Munn operated an experimental school where he formulated and tested methods of training boys under a system of complete individual freedom, based largely upon the realisation of the truths that children, like men of genius, do their work in the spirit of play. The author in his preface thanks the early pioneers, Mr Edward Holmes and Professor Culverwell and gives special thanks to Lord and Lady Glenconner who helped him to put his ideas into practice at Tiptree Hall Essex.Printed at The Mayflower Press Plymouth.
