Gilbert Murray and Bertrand Russell met in February 1901 at Newnham College, Cambridge, where Murray was giving a reading of part of his translation of the Hippolytus of Euripides. Russell was cousin to Murray's wife, Lady Mary Howard, and had known of Murray's classical studies and research on that account. At this point they began an epistolary friendship that lasted until Murray's death in 1957. There are two ways of seeing how the Murray-Russell friendship continued and flourished despite occasional political differences. There is, first, the matter of their ‘fundamental’ liberalism. Second, the correspondence between the two, along with their published output, suggests they agreed fundamentally about ‘philosophy’, and understood each other broadly.

That year, Canadian education researchers organized the Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE). They created a single, federated body, hoping it would play a vigorous role in the university. If all went well, the new organization would have an impact on the country and the wider worlds of educational thought and practice. Most of us thought that Canadian education researcher-writers were not being heard or seen as much as they should. We did not mean to hide our collective light under a bushel, yet European and American colleagues weren't aware of our work. We wanted a new Canadian organizational base from which to operate. We hoped the CSSE would be that base. There was already discussion in the early 1970s of a new journal. After all, if the CSSE were to attract national and international attention, proponents thought the Society must have effective ways of communicating with the whole academic community. The CSSE had bilingual and bicultural origins and ambitions. It claimed to be committed to basic and applied research both. It had a marked desire to influence educational theory Special capSule iSSue: celebrating 40 yearS of the cje My Acquaintance with the CJR/RCE 2 Canadian Journal of Education / Revue canadienne de l'éducation 40:2 (2017) www.cje-rce.ca Special capSule iSSue: celebrating 40 yearS of the cje My Acquaintance with the CJR/RCE 7

It speaks of a re-emergent, expanding and potentially revolutionary field of historical studies: the investigation of universities in their broad historical contexts.' Yet this renaissance, coming after a half-century's neglect, coincides both in the New and in the Old Worlds with a crisis of contraction in the "official," university-based profession of history.

State schools prized uniformity and conformity and thus denied the creative impulse, all that is most "natural" and "human" in good teaching and happy learning. Free-school advocates therefore recommended revolt, either through student strikes and uprisings, or wholesale retreat into the regions of private schooling, based in the home if necessary. Recent studies suggest that although the movement's life was short, lasting from about 1966 to 1973, its mystique has survived into the twenty-first century. 1 In publicity for home schooling, "charter" schooling, and private education in the 1990s and early 2000s-and in popular arguments against state control and national or international testing-the language of the 1960s has been revived. A small minority of parents and educationists talk this way, but it is a vocal minority. All this is pertinent to a review of Shute's book, since he offers his readers an adaptation of Russell's educational theory of the 1920s and early 1930s. Shute's prior commitment to free education has led him to make additions to and subtractions from Russell's thought. He tells us about the additions, but not the subtractions. Shute wants to demonstrate the educational and "humanistic"

Isolation and near-poverty helped to ensure low completion rates in the 1950s, and especially in the southwestern section of the province. In this memoir the author details educational practice just when prosperity was about to strike the system and the region in the 1960s and 1970s. RÉSUMÉ La religion et les politiques locales ont toujours influencé l'éducation secondaire en Saskatchewan rurale. C'est ce qui ressort des données brutes de l'histoire économique régionale. L'isolement et la quasi-pauvreté contribuèrent au taux élevé d'abandon des études durant les années 1950, notamment dans le sud-ouest de la province. Dans ses souvenirs, l'auteur raconte dans le menu détail la pratique éducative au moment où la prospérité était sur le point d'atteindre le système et la région au cours des années 1960 et 1970. Euro-Canadians first settled in Frontier, Saskatchewan in 1906. Just over eighty per cent of the region's farmers grew wheat and cereals; the rest took up mixed agriculture, livestock-raising included. Set in Saskatchewan's far southwest, the village waited until 1926 for construction of a CPR spur, 1956 for connection to the Saskatchewan Power grid, 1959 for unified telephone service, and 1966 for paved roads. Population hovered around 300. We were 25 kilometres north of the American border, 150 kilometres from Alberta. Mom and Dad consistently held that we "lived in the middle of nowhere." They, my younger sister, and I agreed that our isolation explained better than any other fact our region's "problems." Every year it got harder to persuade teachers to stay at Frontier Public School, medical doctors to practice in our tiny hospital, and ministers to preach in the three local churches. Every year, Frontier's Missouri Synod Lutherans, well over half the people in the village and accounting for roughly 60 per cent of the surrounding farms, tightened their hold on the collectivity. From 1940 there were weekend movies in the town ORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac ded by Historical Studies in Education / Revue d'histoire de l'éducation

Robinson's biography, well-argued and highly readable, may begin to remedy that historical injustice. Classicists will eagerly scan Robinson's discussion of a scholar whose views on Greek religion and civilization still produce controversy. On another hand, enthusiasts of literary and social Bloomsbury will find much to occupy them, as the volume is speckled with sub-narratives of Harrison's friendships with Leonard and Virginia Woolf, Roger Fry, Clive Bell, and Lytton Strachey (whose sister Pernel also taught and administered at Cambridge University's Newnham College and was Fellow and later Principal, -). Suzara does include "A Complete List of Bertrand Russell's Books", but it is not as complete as Suzara thinks. Indeed, on page of the text Suzara cites a Russell anthology not included in his list at the end. Suzara also provides a brief and highly selective list of books about Russell, marred most conspicuously by the claim that Katharine Tait's My Father Bertrand Russell was edited by Ralph Schoenman (p. ).
