AS Neill – Dominie’s Log

 

In 1915, A.S. Neill published his first book, Dominie's Log. In it he told the story of his first year as head teacher of Gretna Green Village School. It held forth the controversial theory that children were people, and should be treated in such a manner. He engaged with students on their level, something many of his contemporaries found absurd.
