Abstract

(1)THE determination of the English-speaking peoples to maintain educational thought and practice at a high level, even in the present distracted times, is illustrated by these three books from the United States. The first of them is the seventeenth annual issue (1940) of the well-known “'Educational Yearbook”, devoted on this occasion to problems of adult education. On this subject, profoundly important to democracy, the yearbook enables us to compare notes, not only with the United States, but also with the British Commonwealth of Nations, and with many other countries. One is not suprised to learn, however, that the editor found it “unfortunately impossible to secure articles from Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany”.
