The Story of a Great Schoolmaster: Being a Plain Account of the Life and Ideas of Sanderson of Oundle (1924) - a biography of Frederick William Sanderson

This is H. G. Wells' 1924 biography of Frederick William Sanderson, "The Story of a Great Schoolmaster". Frederick William Sanderson (1857 - 1922) was the headmaster at Oundle School between 1892-1922 and was a an esteemed reformer of education at Oundle and Dulwich College. Wells was a close friend of Sanderson's, and even sent his own sons to his school. Contents include: "Sanderson the Man", "The Modernisation of Oundle School", "The Replacement of Competition by Group Work", "The Re-Establishment of Relations Between School and Reality", "The Growth of Sanderson Shown in His Sermons and Scripture Lessons", "The War and Sanderson's Propaganda of Reconstruction", et cetera. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
