Abstract

REVOLUTIONS IN EDUCATION: A REVIEW OF THE YEARS 1950 TO 2050 (THE PRESIDEKT'S ADDRESS TO THE CONGRESS OF THE NEW EDUCATIOl\ FELLOWSHIP, 2053) c. S. MORRIS Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, That I have been asked to make this address is a unique and unprecedented honour in the full sense of these words, and I thank you for this sign of the confidence that you have placed in me. On this significant occasion it seems to me to be fitting to recall earlier educational revolutions, and I propose to review briefly the landmarks in education of the last hundred years. So many changes have taken place in educational practice that we tend to smile rather incredulously at the education of the 1950's, bnt we must remember that this appeared sensible and even enlightened to its administrators. Many were the serious and indeed bitter arguments waged over its quaint practices. Today modern educationists are impressed mainly by the ambivalence and inconsistencies of the period following that mid-century. Education, then, particularly in the 1960's, was baffled and beset by two contradictory doctrines. Educators as a whole were never quite sure whether to follow the current psychological theory of the great span
