About this copy
What can the educational ideals of ancient Greece, Rome and Palestine teach us about raising children today? Professor E. B. Castle, Professor of Education at the University of Hull, argues that education is about more than producing technical skills: it is the proper rearing of children into good men and women. Drawing on the classical and Hebrew traditions, this thoughtful Pelican Original is as relevant now as when it was written, and was praised by The Times Educational Supplement for its scholarship worn lightly.
A classic Pelican Original in its distinctive blue and purple cover design by Mel Calman and Graham Bishop, with the original 4/6 price printed on the front.
