Excerpt from Cambridge Essays on Adult Education The object of this volume of Essays is to bring before the public some of the principal subjects which are dealt with in the Report of the Committee on Adult Education (Cd. 321, 1919). That Report is so far unique in the history of education in Great Britain, as it forms a definite, and to a large extent, exhaustive record of the vast amount of voluntary enthusiasm and effort which has been devoted to the cause of adult education, and asserts principles and makes proposals, which, if whole-heartedly adopted and consistently acted upon, will undoubtedly transform the whole character of the national life. The expression of such a hope may seem to be the dream of an enthusiast. But it is the expression of more than a hope: it marks a widespread and practical effort, actually existing and vigorously supported in every class: and this effort is the culmination of an almost infinite variety of movements, of which the record, given in the Report, covers a period of more than a century. The tide has had its ebbs and flows: but there has been on the whole, a steady advance and an increasing volume.
