The Poison Fountain or, Anti-Parental Education

A critique of the educational system of the late 19th century, arguing that traditional schooling had become too focused on rote memorization and obedience to authority, and was failing to prepare young people for the challenges of the modern world. Montgomery advocates for a more individualized and experiential approach to education, which he argues will lead to greater creativity and innovation.
