Summary: "The work of the well-known Soviet educator and writer Anton Makarenko is universally acknowledged in the Soviet Union and has aroused widespread interest abroad. His demanding love of children, his subtle knowledge of their psychology and his concern for their future have enabled Anton Makarenko to become outstanding educator. The fruit of his research is a comprehensive system for bringing up children within a collective. The upbringing of the individual is the rpincipal theme of Anton Makarenko's literary works. The English reader will be familiar with Makarenko's 'The Road to Life', 'Learning to Live', and 'Book for Parents' which have been published in Moscow in English. The aim of this book is to continue to acquaint the reader with Makarenko and to throw further light on the life and work of this remarkable author" -- from the book jacketSummary: "In order to work with an individual personality, one must know it and cultivate it. If individual personalities are spread out in my mind like separate peas, without any collective dimension, if I approach them without this collective yardstick, I shall be unable to cope. Skill is something that can be attained, and, just as one can be prominent and skillful turner or a line and skillful doctor, so the teacher too can and must be a skillful craftsman." -- from book jacket, Makarenko in his own words on his teaching philosophy
