Books by Frank Pierrepont Graves

This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. We have represented this book in the same form as it was first published. Hence any marks seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

The present publication is intended to meet the demand for a textbook or reference work that will give a comprehensive account of the history of education before the day of the monastic schools. The aim has been to present sufficient material to mark the most significant movements, and disclose the underlying principles, without entering into unnecessary detail, or dwelling upon matters but remotely related to the educational problems of today. An effort has, moreover, been made to see that all interpretations are based upon historical data collected from the sources; and direct quotation of this material has been liberally made throughout. Frank Pierrepont Graves, Ph.D., was dean at three universities, and finished his career in 1940 after nearly 20 years as Commissioner of Education and President of the University of the State of New York. At the time of original publication in 1909 he was Professor of the History and Philosophy of Education in the Ohio State University.

"This book is a continuation of my History of Education before the Middle Ages, and holds in general to the same point of view and method of approach. It may, however, be used quite independently of that volume as a textbook or a work of reference upon educational history between the sixth and eighteenth centuries."Frank Pierrepont Graves, Ph.D., was dean at three universities, and finished his career in 1940 after nearly 20 years as Commissioner of Education and President of the University of the State of New York.
