Education: An Introductory Survey by W. O. Lester-Smith is a vintage Pelican Book (No. A380). "An outline for the general reader with special reference to fundamental issues in education to-day."
Lester-Smith was a respected educationalist, and this book offers a clear, thoughtful overview of education — its aims, structure and place in modern society during the post-war era.
Pelican blue band books were published as serious non-fiction for a general reader. They sat under the Penguin umbrella but were meant to educate, not entertain.
With its iconic Pelican design, this is a lovely piece for collectors of vintage paperbacks, teachers, historians, or anyone interested in the history of education.
