Mr. and Mrs Knox Taylor : [Note giving apologies for absence]

'Meeting held at 72 Shinfield Road. 5th May 1941
A. G Joselin in the chair.
1. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved

2. Apologies of absence were read from Violet Clough & Mr. & Mrs. Knox Taylor.

[...]

4. Our evening was devoted to a study of the work and writings of Matthew Arnold and we are very grateful to the Committee who arranged the programme and in particular to A. G. Joselin and F. E. Pollard for a most interesting and enlightening evening.
First Mr. Joselin told us something of Matthew Arnold’s work as an Educationalist — of his attempts to secure the improvement of education & particularly secondary education in England. His views on Education are expressed in “Culture and Anarchy” which was published in 1869, and Mr. Joselin read several extracts from J. Dover Wilson’s editorial introduction to this book. [...] Other readings given to illustrate Matthew Arnold the Educationalist and Prose Writer were “Dover Beach” by Mrs. Joselin and further extracts form “Culture and Anarchy” read by R. D. L. Moore.'
