Excerpt from Report on Secondary Education in Liverpool: Including the Training of Teachers for Public Elementary Schools

This report is the outcome of an inquiry made in the Spring of 1904 on behalf of the Education Committee of the City of Liverpool. The task which the Committee entrusted to me was that of reporting to them upon the present condition of Secondary Education in Liverpool, and upon the best means of extending and improving it. Their further instructions were that I should report to them upon the relation of Secondary Education to Primary Education on the one hand and to University Education on the other, and that, under the head of Secondary Education, I should deal with the question of the Training Of Teachers for Public Elementary Schools.

The central part of my task has thus consisted of an inquiry into the work, the aims and the needs of the secondary schools of all types within the City of Liverpool. But, in order to carry out the instructions of the Committee, it has also been my duty to make a general survey of the educational system of Liverpool; to think of it as a whole instead of concentrating attention upon one department of it to the exclusion of the rest; to examine the links which connect its various parts; to consider the kind of service which, if adequately maintained, each group of schools might fairly be expected to render to the civic life and to the commercial interests of the city; and to measure (so far as any such comparison is possible) the efficiency of the educational equipment of Liverpool, more particularly as regards its secondary education, with that of some other great commercial cities in other lands.
