Opis: Observations on the Working of the Government Scheme of Education - Dawes Richard

Excerpt from Observations on the Working of the Government Scheme of Education: And on School Inspection, Suggesting a Mode of Providing an Efficient and More Extended Inspection for Those Schools in Connexion With the Church, Without Expense to the Country; With Other General Remarks on Elementary Education

Having watched the progress of National Education for some years with considerable attention, and endeavoured to promote it among the labouring and middle classes of society, I hope the following observations, the result of much thought on the subject, and of increased experience, may not at the present time be entirely devoid of interest: the intention of them is, to suggest useful hints, having a practical bearing on the cause they arc intended to promote, and to endeavour to fix the public mind on plans likely to lend to good results, rather than to speculate and theorise on difficulties which may never occur. Such speculations tend to keep the present generation in ignorance, without being at all sure of benefiting the next.

The subject of education has since the year 1833 more particularly attracted public attention; and the first practical step taken on the part of the House of Commons for the promotion of it in Great Britain, was in that year, during the government of Lord Grey, when a sum of 20,000 was voted, and continued by an annual vote up to 1839. This sum, administered by the Lords of the Treasury, through the National and the British and Foreign Societies, was given in aid of private efforts, without in any way demanding a right of inspection, where assistance had been given; it was productive of much good in promoting school building, but calling for no inspection, was little noticed by the public.

In the year 1839 the annual grant was increased to 30,000, in 1844 to 40,000, in 1815 to 75,000, and at present is 120,000.
