The Boy And His School: What It Can And What It Cannot Give Him (1905)

By Robert L. Leighton and Robert L. Leighton

Book Overview

The Boy And His School: What It Can And What It Cannot Give Him is a book written by Robert Leighton and originally published in 1905. The book is a study of the relationship between boys and their schools, examining what schools can and cannot provide for their students. Leighton argues that while schools can provide boys with a solid education and a sense of discipline, they cannot provide them with everything they need to succeed in life. He explores the limitations of the educational system and offers suggestions for how boys can supplement their education with experiences outside of the classroom. The book is a thoughtful reflection on the role of schools in shaping the lives of young men, and it remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with questions about the purpose and effectiveness of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
