Product details The Schoolmaster of the Future

The Schoolmaster of the Future

Joseph Swain

'The Schoolmaster of the Future', 1887. The British workman has come into school to take the boy away in order to teach him a trade that will be more useful to him in life than Trigonometry or Geology. This cartoon accompanies a poem of the same name in which Punch puts forward the view that an artisan of the future must needs learn a craft and develop skills that will stand him in good stead. It is not that book-learning is bad for a boy, but 'if a man's lot is to trudge, it is small use fitting him with wings'. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 19, 1887.
