An Outline of the System of Education at New Lanark

In the early 19th century, the Scottish industrialist Robert Owen sought to create a utopian community at New Lanark, where workers and their families could live in harmony and prosperity. Central to his vision was a revolutionary system of education, which emphasized inquiry-based learning, practical skills, and moral development. This book outlines the principles and practices of that system, which became a model for progressive educators around the world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
