Synopsis
Excerpt from The English Citizen: The State and Education
It seems necessary to say a few words as to the scope and aim of this treatise. The growth of our State system of National Education is a matter so recent that it is not enough to describe the details of arrangements as they actually exist. If they are to be properly understood, we must pass in review the efforts which were first made, the compromises effected, the changes and modifications introduced, during the last fifty years. At every point our national education system bears traces of its peculiar growth, and shows itself to be the result of compromise.
Had the limits assigned to the volumes of this series permitted, it might have been desirable to refer to two other matters. The first of these is the further development of the system as indicated, on the one hand, in the changes recently introduced, and now engaging most serious attention, whose object is to mitigate any undue rigidity in the Code which the Education Department administers; on the other hand, in the extension of the influence of the State to Secondary Education, already accepted in Scotland, and likely soon to occupy attention as regards England. The second is a comparison of other systems with our own.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the growth of state-funded education in England and Scotland from its origins in the 19th century to the point when the state had assumed responsibility for the burden previously borne by parents, as well as the introduction of compulsion for children to attend school. The author documents both the successes and failures of this system, as well as the role of the Church at the start, and the eventual introduction of a secular system. This well-researched work offers an excellent starting point for anyone interested in the history of education in these regions as a whole.
