"Dr. Neatby, Professor of History at the University of Saskatchewan and the only woman member of the Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences" states the dj, "delivers a smashing indictment of modern education in Canada." More than fifty years later, it continues to attract attention for its criticisms (The Beaver, Canada's history magazine, ran an article on the 50th anniversary of its 1953 publication) of which, unfortunately, many if not most are still valid - or more valid (and equally applicable to the situation in the United States). A uniquely important book for those concerned about the theory, philosophy and practice of education and the history of educational reform in North America.
