The Boys of Westonbury: Or The Monitorial System is a book written by H. C. Adams that explores the effectiveness of the monitorial system in education. The story follows a group of boys at Westonbury School who are taught using this method, which involves older students acting as monitors and teaching younger students. The protagonist, Tom, struggles with this system at first but eventually comes to appreciate its benefits. Along the way, the book examines the advantages and disadvantages of the monitorial system, as well as the importance of discipline, respect, and hard work in education. The Boys of Westonbury is a thought-provoking and engaging read that sheds light on an innovative teaching method that was popular in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
