One of Reed's extensive list of monographs in its Gold Star series, this title focuses on education in NZ from the days of the earliest settlers. As a former teacher, the author was well qualified to compile this study, particularly with her experience in rural schools and the impact on education of the Great Depression. NZ was early to introduce compulsory State education, but the author begins her history with the advent of the mission schools. Other chapters deal with Maori schools, transport for pupils, Intermediate and district high schools and the Correspondence School, for students in remote localities or otherwise unable to attend formal classes. A feature of this broad and interesting study is an excellent collection of historic illustrations. First edition of 1976, 88 pages including appendix listing education milestones, index, b/w photos, some art and drawings. Card covers are VG+, ditto the text block, no inscriptions.
