Published by ONE Custance to Sandeman: 8 August ; on letterhead of 42 Half Moon Street Piccadilly W. London TWO Holmes to Sandeman: 19 August 1911; 'c/o Messrs Constable & Co / 10 Orange Street / Leicester Square / W. C. London', 1911
Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
See the entries for Custance and Holmes in the Oxford DNB. According to the latter: On his retirement in November 1910, Holmes published What is and What Might Be (1911), a condemnation of the existing education system, which stressed competition rather than co-operation, emphasized visible results, and demanded the mechanical obedience of the child. The book attracted wide public attention. [.] Shortly before his retirement, he became involved in the furore over the so-called 'Holmes Morant circular', a highly confidential memorandum which he had issued in January 1910 to inspectors . The two letters are in fair condition, lightly aged and ruckled; Holmes s letter with light water tide mark around edges. Both with postage folds. ONE: Custance to Sandeman. ALS. 8 August 1911. 3pp, 16mo. Bifolium. Thirty-four lines. Addressed to My dear Sandeman and signed Reginald Custance . The information about Homer Lee s book [Lee (1851-1923) was an American engraver and inventor] is interesting, not to say amusing . Reference to Gen. Chaffee s introduction and Lee s apparent service in the American army and Chinese service . A great number of people on this side were taken in by him. Personally I always thought he presented a very exaggerated view. Turning to the Holmes pamphlet , which was given to Custance by an American Admiral , he discusses the very much amplified edition titled What is and what might be , and how to acquire it. Ends: A friend of mie tells me that the ideal school is a [real?] one. TWO: Holmes to Sandeman. ALS. 19 August [1911]. 2pp, 16mo. Addressed to Lt. Col. J. G. Sandeman M. V. O. and signed E. G. A. Holmes . My pamphlet on Sompting School [the school Holmes had set up in East Sussex] is not on sale; but I have written to the Printers and asked them to send you 4 copies. He cannot spare more than four, as the stock is running very low, and half of it belongs to a friend of mine who paid back the whole cost to the printers . With two cuttings: Custance s Who s Who entry, and a brief advertisement for Holmes s book.
