William Morris: A Claim for Education

The system of education which William Morris saw spawned by the commerce-oriented nineteenth century society horrified him. Formal schooling, as evidenced in the Board school era (and prior to this) was governed by the ideology of Robert Lowe Benthamite thinking in terms of cheapness and efficiency. Morris found it unacceptable for any stratum of society, since true education was lacking and it was all conducted in an atmosphere of bleakness, non-spirituality and "process-mindedness," the opposite of that which he had experienced himself as a child and youth. He accordingly decried the system and launched an appeal of his own.
