This article presents a series of letters to professor A.G. Little in relation to his review of educationist and historian A.F. Leach's works on reformation and English education. In arguing in favor of A. F. Leach's views on education, and against critic Joan Simon's estimate, professor W. N. Chaplin attaches much importance to A. G. Little's review of Leach's book. Consequently it has been decided to print some correspondence to Little. The first letter to Little from the editor quoted some of theory of Leach related to the learning of the Irish. This letter was later endorsed by A.G. Little with some of his comments. Another letter was by author Rose Graham to Little related to Leach's statement about Glastonbury. All writers agree that educational history can only be written on the basis of a good knowledge of local history. Yorkshire is not only one of the most important areas, but has also been studied by educational historians more than most. It is not surprising, therefore, that several of the writers in this discussion have quoted facts from Yorkshire. |
