Synopsis
Excerpt from Considerations on the System of Parochial Schools in Scotland<br/><br/>But the reverse of all this holds true, of the moral or intellectual wants of our nature. The want of virtue, so far from sharpening, has the effect of extinguishing the desire for virtue. The same is true of the want of knowledge. The more destitute we are of these articles, the more dead we are as to any inclination for them. Under the mere operation of demand and supply, there are sufficient guarantees in the constitution of nature, that the people will themselves make a primary movement after food. But there is no such guarantee for their ever making a primary movement after instruo tion. It is not from the quarter of ignorance, that we can at all look for the first advance towards knowledge; nor can we ever expect, that, for this object, a people as yet untaught, will surrender, either for their own behalf; or that of their children, any sensible proportion of that money, which went to the purchase of their physical gratifications. The night of ignorance is sure to be per. Petuated in every land, where no extraneous attempts are made, on the part of the wealthy and enlightened, for the object of its dissipation. And if the wholly unendowed system be ind competent to. The effect of planting a habit of education among a people, in the first instance, it cannot be the best system for upholding that habit, where it is already established; and far less can it be the best for arresting the of this habit in a country, where, if educati be upon the decline, the desire for educati 'will be sure to decline along with it.

Considerations on the System of Parochial Schools in Scotland (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate systems of education prevalent in 19th-century Scotland, meticulously comparing and contrasting their methods and effectiveness. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of three distinct approaches: the wholly unendowed system, the fully endowed system, and a hybrid model that combines elements of both. The author argues that the unendowed system, where education is left solely to the whims of demand and supply, is insufficient to foster a widespread and enduring habit of learning. Conversely, the fully endowed system, where education is entirely provided at public expense, can lead to complacency and a lack of parental involvement. The author advocates for a hybrid approach, which balances the strengths of both systems. This model requires students to pay a small fee, ensuring their commitment to their education while simultaneously reducing the financial burden on the government. The author believes that this approach can effectively perpetuate the habit of education across generations, creating a well-informed and literate citizenry. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the crucial role of education in shaping a nation's intellectual, moral, and social fabric, offering valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history and evolution of educational systems.
