Edmond Demolins

Summary
Edmond Demolins (1852–1907) was a French pedagogue. 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. 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. Demolins edited the bi-monthly Réforme sociale. 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. Inspired by the experiences of the Abbotsholme School and the Bedales School, he founded the fr (pioneer of Active learning). Edmond Demolins died in 1907 in Caen. His best known works are L’Éducation nouvelle: L’École des Roches and À quoi tient la supériorité des Anglo-Saxons? (1897). In his work Les grandes routes des peuples, essai de géographie sociale : comment la route crée le type social, he defends racist theories.
