16pp - One of the very collectable "Take Home Books" series from the 1950s and '60s. 1st ed. "We have more leisure than our fathers had. They had more than our grandfathers. Our children will have more leisure than we have..." Or so it was thought in 1961. 42 years later and we might wonder if that latter prediction is true. Following his service in WWI, where he was wounded during the Battle of the Somme, M L Jacks served as a school headmaster. Then, from 1939 until 1957 he was Director of the Department of Education at Oxford University. As such, he authored several books on education, including Modern Trends in Education and Total Education
