This new collection of 1. Krishnamurtis Letters to the Schools combines the letters originally published in Volume I (1981) and Volume II (1985) with seventeen previously unpublished letters from earlier years. In the first of the letters Krishnamurti said

As I would like to keep in touch with the schools in India, Brockwood Park in England and the Oak Grove School in Ojai, Califormia, I propose to write a letter every fortnight to them for as long as possible. I would very much like to write these letrers to convey what the schools should be, to convey to all the people responsible for them that these schools are to be excellent academically, but much more. They are to be concerned with the cultivation of the total human being. These centres of education must help the student and the educator to flower.

Introducing the second volume of letters, Krishnamurti wrote:

These letters are not meant to be read casually when you have a little time from other things, nor are they to be treated as entertainment. These letters are written seriously and if you care to read them, read them with intent to study what is said as you would study a flower by looking at the flower very carefully-its petals, its stem, its colours, its fragrance and its beauty These letters should be studied in the same manner, not read one morning and forgotten in the rest of the day. One must give time to it, play with it, question it, inquire into it without acceptance. Live with it for some time, digest it so that it is yours and not the writer's

The insights in these letters will be valued by parents, educators, students of education, and others concerned about the failure of educational systems to nurture the full of graduates with a deep sense of human worth and dignity, who may create a global society based on priorities beyond materialism.
