This book tells the story of a school with a lively and contraversial record of effort and achievement - the Wellington Technical College. From its creation in 1866the school had to combat prejudice, apathy and opposition while it struggled to shape new attitudes toward children and the aims of education. The book is not narrowly concerned with the daily life of the school. It raises issues which are both vital and current today and compares them with the educational views of seventy-five years ago, when people were busy complaining about the younger generation and the declining standards of our schools.
