From this time until early manhood he was his father's assistant in a little school in the outskirts of Birmninzham, It is not surprising, fo view of this experfence and his father's admirable orin- ciples on the aubject, that bis tirst reform-work should have been educatlonal, Beforo he left hote, he began s aerles of vasays describing the system of educatfon in use at ihe school then taught by his father, himsolf, and two brothers.

These were published anonymously fu 1622, four years l(ler%ls leaving home, under the titio of ** L'ub- lic Education.” ‘The book found a guod deal of favor at once from reformers.
