The History of Education Educational Practice and Progress Considered as a Phase of the Development and Spread of Western Civilization

"The History of Education" by Ellwood Patterson Cubberley is a journey through time, showing how schools and learning have changed alongside Western civilization. The story begins with the author's own teaching experiences at Stanford University and his desire to help students grasp the bigger picture of how societies grow. The book looks at the important roles of the Greeks, Romans, and early Christians, focusing on what they actually did in the classroom rather than just their ideas about teaching. Spanning from ancient times all the way up to the modern era, the book creates a detailed picture demonstrating the changes in education and how these changes have helped shape both people and the world around them.
