About this book
Education, family life and the rights of children are weighed in this long essay by Bernard Shaw, originally the preface to his play Misalliance. Its many short sections cover what a child is, schools and schoolmasters, what is left untaught, and whether children should earn a living. Others deal with family affection, religious teaching and what he calls the abuse of docility. Shaw draws on his own schooling in a section on his scholastic acquirements. He argues that adults must reform society before they can reform themselves.
