Description:

What use are the ideas of ancient Greece, Rome, and Palestine, in the education of our children today? Can these ideas be relevant in a technological age? Professor Castle has written this book because he thinks that, in the current and necessary enthusiasm for technological instruction, many people have lost sight of the fact that education is not just a gadget for the making of other gadgets; it is the proper rearing of our children so that they become good men. The Greeks, Romans, and Hebrews, never lost sight of this truth. In different ways they present us with ideals and object lessons that are still very relevant to our present condition.
