Excerpt from Individuality and the Moral Aim in American: Education, the Gilchrist Report Presented to the Victoria University, March 1901 The subject of the following inquiry was approved by the Victoria University and the Gilchrist Trustees, being regarded by them as cognate to some of the most urgent of the educational problems with which we are called upon to deal. That the questions are essentially English in spirit hardly needs saying. One authority, who will be frequently quoted and whose name has long been held in high honour by English educationists, Dr. W. T. Harris, the United States Commissioner of Education, has said, referring to the moral aim in education, 'The English and American school is founded on the idea that moral education is more important than intellectual.' As to the principle of individuality, reviewing the last century. Professor C. H. Herford says, 'The nineteenth century has assailed, but has not seriously modified, the stubborn individualism of the English mind. On the contrary, it has seen the English mind persistently seeking philosophic or scientific justification for its own instincts.'
