	Sundermann, Elizabeth (Libi) Advisor: Michael Saler Field: Modern Europe Topic: "Devotees at the Shrine of Progress:" Christian-civic humanism as educational philosophy A reanalysis of R. A. Butler's vision for the 1944 Education Act	My interpretation of the 1944 Education Act reveals the attempt of R. A. Butler, President of the Board of Education, 1941-1945, to promote an education philosophy coined here as "Christian civic humanism." With the help of a network of educationalists and intellectuals, including Professor Fred Clarke at the Institute of Education, Butler built an educational philosophy based on cultural, political, and educational traditions synthesized with progressive educational trends. The resulting legislation mandated religious education for cultural cohesion and suggested a diversified secondary and further education system to help bolster and defend the English commonwealth. This revisionist analysis provides a necessary correction to standard histories of twentieth-century English education. Analysis of the 1944 Education Act as a piece of historic post-war social legislation has overwhelmed its historical significance as an artifact of the intellectual and political issues of the interwar and war years.
