Abstract

On their return from their long journey abroad the Webbs picked up the threads of their lives. Beatrice wrote:

We were back in our little home on the Thames embankment, resuming our work in the triple capacity of investigators into social institutions, promoters of the newly-established London School of Economics and, in the case of the other One, as Chairman of the Technical Education Board, a determined organiser and agitator, intent on unifying all public education … under one local government authority — that of the London County Council.1
