The Hamptonshire Experiment in Education is a book written by Charles Robert Ashbee in 1914. The book is a detailed account of Ashbee's attempt to create a new educational system in the English county of Hamptonshire. Ashbee was a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, and he believed that traditional education was failing to prepare young people for the challenges of modern life. In the book, Ashbee describes the philosophy behind his educational experiment, which was based on the principles of practicality, creativity, and community. He believed that students should be taught practical skills that would enable them to be self-sufficient and contribute to society. He also emphasized the importance of creativity and the arts in education, arguing that they were essential for developing well-rounded individuals. Ashbee's experiment involved setting up a school in Hamptonshire that would implement his educational philosophy. The book describes the challenges he faced in setting up the school, including opposition from traditional educators and funding difficulties. Ashbee also describes the day-to-day workings of the school, including the curriculum, teaching methods, and student activities. Overall, The Hamptonshire Experiment in Education is an important historical document that provides insight into the early 20th-century educational reform movement. It is also a fascinating account of one man's attempt to create a new vision for education that was ahead of its time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
