In this vigorous, enlightening study, Mr. Beeby argues that an educational system of high quality develops in distinct stages and that new countries cannot simply duplicate instantly the results of a century's progress in other nations' systems.

True justice: Quaker peace makers and peace making (Swarthmore lecture)

Quaker Home Service

<p>If the holy potential is in each of us, and we recognise it, our behaviour towards others must be deeply affected. How could we abuse or treat them as enemies? Must we not try to heal relationships fractured by anger, fear and incomprehension, making use of the universal capacity for peace making that flows from 'that of God'? To do so effectively involves understanding the nature of unpeaceful relations and recognising that there are different types depending on the power balance of the protagonists. But some methods are always appropriate: recognising and responding to the good in the other, establishing and maintaining a relationship of trust, listening, perseverance. There is no box of magic peace making tricks. All depends on love and concern informed by experience and understanding.</p>

The Fragile Voice of Love

Jon Carpenter Publishing

Educational planning for developing countries is a much more strenuous and unpredictable enterprise than its name suggests. Among its hazards are the mental and physical strain, including illness, to which the foreign adviser is subject, the often critical absence of data, the instability of the economy, and particularly the idiosyncrasies of politicians and administrators. Through his own experience as a consultant to developing nations, Mr. Curle became intimately familiar with the problems and responsibilities of the foreign expert. In his wryly realistic view, the advisor, far from being a remote and godlike figure, is thrust in the middle of confusing and often frustrating conditions. He emphasizes the need for wisdom and common sense on the advisers part and gives a thoroughly practical appraisal of what accomplishments can be reasonably expected. Mr. Curle deals extensively with the state of education in Pakistan, where he was an adviser off and on for ten years.
