 Martin Bucer on Education 345 remember that the reign of Edward was marked by interest in education. The Reformers were generally believers in educa- tion; hence the sympathies which led Englishmen to invite Bucer to a high position in their land had also prepared them to listen to his ideas on the training of youth. Altogether, though Bucer is not to be ranked with the great- est educators of his day, he deserves a high and honorable place among those who have clearly seen the importance of education to the individual and the state, and have both taught well themselves, and wisely labored and spoken and written in the cause of discipline and enlightenment.
