Abstract
“WE have, indeed, suffered a severe and heavy loss at an important and formative period in the history of British education.” This is the tribute and the regret of the President of the Board of Education, at the death on January 3 of Dr. H. G. Stead. Into his fifty-four years Dr. Stead had packed more than most men. First assistant master at a primary school, then mathematics master at a grammar school, then a lecturer in a technical school, he had a wide and varied experience 'at the blackboard' such as few of our educational administrators possessed. Perhaps that goes a long way towards explaining why his lectures and his writings were always so impressively concrete and so gladly received by teachers.
