Summary
Details

""Education and Leisure"" is a comprehensive collection of addresses delivered at the Fourth Triennial Conference on Education, which took place in Victoria and Vancouver, Canada, in April 1929. This volume captures a pivotal moment in educational history, bringing together the voices of prominent scholars, educators, and leaders who sought to redefine the relationship between academic instruction and the enrichment of human life outside the workplace.

The speeches contained within this work examine the evolving role of education in a society increasingly defined by technological advancement and shifting social structures. The contributors delve into the importance of literature, the arts, and physical training, arguing that the true goal of learning is to equip individuals with the tools necessary for the constructive use of leisure time. By exploring themes of global citizenship and personal development, the collection offers a fascinating window into the intellectual priorities of the interwar period. ""Education and Leisure"" remains a significant historical resource, providing timeless insights into the philosophy of education and the enduring quest to cultivate a well-rounded and culturally engaged society.
