Ebenezer Cooke (c 1837-1913) was a drawing master interested in the theory and practice of art education, who expressed his views in conference papers and journal articles. He taught in a variety of establishments, including succeeding John Ruskin at the Working Men's College. Among other activities, he served on the Council of the Society for the Development of the Science of Education (founded in 1875 as the Education Society), and on the Committee of the Third International Congress for the Development of Drawing and Art Teaching, 1908. In 1894 he also published an English edition of Pestalozzi's How Gertrude Teaches Her Children.
