The Twin Ideals . An Educated Commonwealth. 2 Volume Set
By James W. Barrett
Published by HK Lewis & Co. Ltd: London 1918

"These volumes consist of a series of essays and articles, mostly written originally for the daily Press, on a very large variety of topics, classified under the heads:—Universities; education; medicine; venereal disease; milk and neglected children; town planning and playgrounds; rural life; national parks and the work of explorers; bush nursing; travel and immigration; social; music; electoral reform; Imperial and Australian politics. The author, a Melbourne medical man and consultant, who has taken an active part in the affairs of the Melbourne University, in Australian public and medical questions, and, during the war, in the Australian Army Medical Corps, tells in his preface of the growth of his own faith, away from the original university ideal of leavening the affairs of State by the production of a few well-trained thinkers, towards the twin ideals of Imperial federation and the production of an educated proletariat as necessary for the salvation of the Empire. The first is necessary for the security precedent to any scheme of social betterment, without which the foundations of society are hollow, and the second, the effective education of all adolescents in realities, is forced by the spectacle in Australia of the superficiality and insincerity of popular government. But is not the original university ideal of at least equal importance?"
