A quoi tient la superiorite des Anglo Saxons - Edmond Demolins

Edmond Demolins was born in 1852 in Marseille. He became a disciple of Pierre Guillaume Frédéric le Play. He formed a small group of students including Paul de Rousiers that met in Le Play's salon every Monday in the 1870s.[1] The Programme de gouvernement et d'organisation sociale d'après l'observation comparée des divers peuples (1881) was a collective work by members of the group with a preface by Le Play.[2] Demolins edited the bi-monthly Réforme sociale.[2] In 1885, three years after the death of Le Play, Henri de Tourville and Demolins split from the movement and founded a new journal, Science sociale. They brought with them a few adherents including de Rousiers and Robert Pinot (1862–1926), future director of the Musée social and secretary-general of the Comité des forges. This small group functioned as a true research team.[3]

Inspired by the experiences of the Abbotsholme School and the Bedales School, he founded the École des Roches [fr] (pioneer of Active learning).

Edmond Demolins died in 1907 in Caen.
