Excerpt from Report on Secondary and Higher Education in Newcastle Upon Tyne, 1905

The following report is the outcome of an inquiry made by me in the course of 1904 on behalf of the Education Committee of the City and County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Committee charged me with the duty of inquiring into the present condition of Secondary and Higher Education in the City and of gauging its future requirements.

Newcastle is the educational metropolis of a wide and, in part, a densely populated area. Its own population of nearly a quarter of a million inhabitants is but a portion of a much greater multitude which looks to it as the intellectual centre of a wide region. In studying therefore the educational organisation of the City, it was my duty to remember what may be called its territorial, as well as its purely civic, scope.

No one can study the educational system of the City and fail to be impressed by certain characteristics which give it distinction and force. The concentrated attention and vigour of purpose displayed by the engineering apprentices in many of the evening schools, are amongst the most striking things that English education has to show. And the visitor is often impressed in many other quarters by the native excellence of the material upon which the schools have to work. The varied industries and activities of Tyneside, the opportunities of access to foreign parts, the ancient and tough tradition of the City, the love of craftsmanship and of discussion and of natural history, have all had their different influence upon the educational resources of the place.
