The Tragedy of Education is a book written by Edmond Holmes and first published in 1913. The book explores the flaws and failures of the education system prevalent at that time and provides a critical analysis of the same. The author argues that the traditional system of education, which focuses on rote learning and memorization, fails to prepare students for the challenges of the real world. Instead, he proposes a more holistic approach to education that prioritizes critical thinking, creativity, and practical skills.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which tackles a specific aspect of the education system. The first chapter provides an overview of the problems with the current system and sets the stage for the rest of the book. The subsequent chapters delve deeper into issues such as the role of teachers, the importance of play in learning, and the need for vocational education.Throughout the book, Holmes emphasizes the importance of education in shaping the future of society. He argues that a well-rounded education is essential for creating responsible citizens who can contribute to the betterment of society. The Tragedy of Education is a thought-provoking read that challenges readers to question the status quo and consider alternative approaches to education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

My aim, in writing this book, is to show that the externalism of the West, the prevalent tendency to pay undue regard to outward and visible "results" and to neglect what is inward and vital, is the source of most of the defects that vitiate Education in this country, and therefore that the only remedy for those defects is the drastic one of changing our standard of reality and our conception of the meaning and value of life. My reason for making a special study of that branch of education which is known as "Elementary," is that I happen to have a more intimate knowledge of it than of any other branch, the inside of an elementary school being so familiar to me that I can in some degree bring the eye of experience to bear upon the problems that confront its teachers. I do not for a moment imagine that the elementary school teacher is more deeply tainted than his fellows with the virus of "Occidentalism." Nor do I think that the defects of his schools are graver than those of other educational institutions. In my judgment they are less grave because, though perhaps more glaring, they have not had time to become so deeply rooted, and are therefore, one may surmise, less difficult to eradicate. Also there is at least a breath of healthy discontent stirring in the field of elementary education, a breath which sometimes blows the mist away and gives us sudden gleams of sunshine, whereas over the higher levels of the educational world there hangs the heavy stupor of profound self-satisfaction.
