The description of the schools of the Stepney Union in the uncommercial Traveller shows how keenly appreciative Dickens was of all true new ideals in educational work.
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
May teachers and all trainers of children learn the underlying philosophy of the statement made by Dickens, in connection with the schools of the Stepney Union, in The uncommercial Traveller: "In the moral health of these schools-where corporal punishment is unknown-truthfulness stands high"!
"Dickens As an Educator"
James L. (James Laughlin) Hughes
He wrote in the uncommercial Traveller: I can find-must find, whether I will or no-in the open streets, shameful instances of neglect of children, intolerable toleration of the engenderment of paupers, idlers, thieves, races of wretched and destructive cripples both in body and mind; a misery to themselves, a misery to the community, a disgrace to civilization, and an outrage on Christianity.
