Board of Education
6. xii. 23
Dear McKerrow
I will expect you tomorrow, Friday, at 5 p.m.
As to the range of the periodical, there are two distinct points.
(a) Have we not enough, and perhaps more than enough, ground to cover, without entering upon the educational field at all? This is a point which I should of course not press if the general opinion is against me.
(b) How far can I, personally, take any responsibility for a journal which discusses education? Here your draft doesn’t help me much, because I should boggle much more at discussion of education “policy” than of educational “methods”. It is not a very important point, because it is not in the least necessary that I should be one of the nominal “proprietors”.
You might however consider the following alternative, which possibly covers all that you really contemplate.
“From time to time articles of a more general nature will give an account of recent progress in the various branches, or will discuss the relation of English to other studies and to the intellectual life of the country.”
Then omit from the next paragraph the words “but wider questions of principle and policy will not necessarily be excluded”.
Yrs sincerely
E. K. Chambers
