"Old Lamps for New" by E. V. Lucas is a collection of essays and reflections written in the early 20th century. The initial chapter introduces a unique educational approach at Miss Beam's school, which emphasizes empathy and understanding through experiential learning, particularly by having children participate in "blind days" and other challenges to instill a sense of thoughtfulness. This setting hints at broader themes of human connection and the importance of compassion in education. The opening of the book sets the stage with a visit to Miss Beam's school, where the narrator encounters a little girl experiencing her "blind day," providing a touch of poignancy and insight into childhood and adversity. The character-driven narrative showcases the interactions between the narrator and the children, illustrating the school's unconventional methods that encourage the development of sympathy and humanity in young minds. The chapter effectively captures the essence of Lucas's thoughtful exploration of human nature in both personal experiences and broader societal contexts.
