Scope and Contents
Thomson discusses the need for education to benefit both the individual and the wider community (or civilisation). He defines intelligence and intelligence testing, and compares the Scottish and English systems to each other and to America. Ultimately, he argues that schools should contain a mixture of intelligence levels, with education catered to each child, which will in turn create a unified society.
