520			_a"The School and the World" by Victor Gollancz and D. C. Somervell is an educational treatise written in the early 20th century. The authors reflect on the limitations of traditional public school education, advocating instead for a political education that engages students with contemporary issues and the realities of modern society. The work appears to center on their experiences and experiments in promoting political awareness and discourse among students, challenging the existing pedagogical framework. The opening of the text establishes the context of a political education experiment introduced at a public school, which sought to engage students in discussions about modern political issues and to cultivate a more holistic approach to education. The authors outline their intentions and the initial success of their endeavors, highlighting the formation of a "Politics Class" where students voluntarily engaged in discussions about current events and relevant historical contexts. They also address the resistance faced from other educators and the eventual collapse of their initiative, emphasizing the need for a more dynamic and inclusive educational model that encourages critical thinking over rote memorization. This exploration reflects a broader commentary on the necessity of modernizing educational practices in alignment with the rapidly changing political landscape of the time.
