H.G. Wells wrote this in 1921 as basically a series of lectures he planned to give in America on how the future of education should go. In his present, Wells found the educational system deplorable. He states in the last part of the book that ill health prevented these lectures, and also hampered what I assumed to be the editing of the book. That given, he probably shouldn't have published it, but as an author the urge to publish a major writing, no matter how flawed, can be irresistible.
The substance of the book is an excruciatingly detailed and rather pedantic treatise on how to fix, not only education, but civilization itself, although his greatest concentration was on education. It's a secret to only a few perhaps, that Wells favored Socialism over Capitalism, and his urge to control the "masses" is evident here.
