Folding table listing three questionnaires.
First Edition. 4to. [255 x 203 mm]. Original blue printed paper wrappers (horizontal fold at centre). [ebc8091].
Maidstone: printed by Young & Copper Ltd, [c. 1946].
Inscribed in ink on the front cover: "Original wrapper, n.d., Maidstone printed, limited edition of 500 copies. Very important but its chief interest is in the fact that it may later rank as importantly as Roger Ascham's first educational book: but we will have to keep it for a couple of centuries to see". There is no copy recorded on Library Hub, WorldCat or any of the other Cats.
Otto Shaw (1908-1976) set up Red Hill School in Kent in 1934 for "severely maladjusted boys". He worked on the principle that punishment has no particular function in influencing human behaviour. His first book School Discipline was published in 1936, and was followed by Reformative Influences in the Treatment of Delinquent Children (1944), Maladjusted Boys (1965), Youth in Crisis (1966) and Prisons of the Mind (1969). He stood unsuccessfully as a Labour Party candidate in three General Elections, contested every Kent County Council election from 1945 and achieved national notice in 1967 when, as Chairman of Bearsted magistrates, he asked a young motoring offender if he was sleeping with his girlfriend.
