This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Round the Empire, Vol. 1 of 7: For the Use of Schools Times. - "A very valuable repertory of topics applicable to the argument, and a powerful plea at once persuasive and suggestive for the further development of British unity. The volume is at once a significant proof of the strength of the movement, and a valuable contribution to its argumentative support." Pall Mall Gazette. - "A very lucid, temperate, and well reasoned statement of the case for Imperial Federation. Mr. Parkin writes clearly and methodically, and reveals at every turn a thorough knowledge not only of his own case but of the objections of his opponents. His work will be of great value in forming public opinion on what is the greatest question of the day." National Observer. - This book has the imprint of thoroughness and masterly directness on every page; its presentations are lucid, its generalisations powerful: it justifies the writer and his principles. Glasgow Herald. - "Mr. Parkin's work is able, thorough, end suggestive - an admirable effort to make of Imperial Federation something more than a phrase." Athenæum. - The best thing that has yet appeared in favour of Imperial Federation." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter vii the headmasters' conference The Conference of the headmasters of public schools has now become a body of recognised influence in England; the deliberations at its annual or biennial gatherings are watched with deep interest by the public and seriously discussed by all the leading journals: it is the only common channel through which the secondary school life of the country finds a voice for its opinions--the only parliament in which its perplexities can be discussed, the experience of masters compared, the relations of the public schools to the educational movements of the time considered. Doubtless the significance and weight of the Conference are fluctuating quantities, and at any particular period will be determined by the activity of educational thought and progressive spirit, or the amount of individual energy among its members. Whether it has quite fulfilled, as a stimulant to educational movement, the hopes of its founder may be questioned. But that it has broken down a deadening isolation, induced a healthy interchange of ideas between public schools, given them a united voice in time of need, exercised a powerful influence on various educational questions, and that it is capable of much further development for good, there can be no reasonable doubt. Within a few years of its inception it had secured the adhesion of all the great schools, and at its meetings was being welcomed and splendidly entertained by each of the most important of them in turn. But when the organisation of the Conference was first suggested by Thring, the welcome which the idea received was by no means universal, as I shall have to show. The inception and growth of the plan in his mind can be pretty fully traced in his Diary and in fragments of...

In preparing the material for a cheaper issue of this book it has been found necessary to omit a good deal that was contained in the first edition. The omissions consist chiefly of details of school life and portions of correspondence originally inserted because they had special interest for readers personally associated with Uppingham. In making excisions I have aimed at retaining all that was essential to the illustration of Thring seducational ideas. Some rearrangement of the material has also seemed advisable. In other respects the changes have been very slight, and I trust that in this more compact form the book may have the same kindly reception which has been given to the larger edition, and may prove helpful to a widely extended circle of readers.
