A Dominie's Log is a unique memoir written by Alexander Sutherland Neill, a Scottish educator who founded the progressive Summerhill School in England. The book is a collection of Neill's diary entries from his time as a schoolmaster in Scotland, and it provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of a teacher in the early 20th century. The book covers a wide range of topics, including Neill's experiences teaching in rural and urban areas, his struggles with discipline and classroom management, and his thoughts on the role of education in society. Neill is known for his progressive ideas on education, and this book offers a glimpse into the early development of his philosophy. A Dominie's Log is also a valuable historical document, providing a firsthand account of life in Scotland during the First World War. Neill writes about the impact of the war on his students and their families, and he reflects on the broader social and political issues of the time. Overall, A Dominie's Log is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on education, history, and society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of education or the development of progressive ideas in the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
