Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of State Education in Victoria, Vol. 1
The story has fallen naturally into three divisions the first dealing with the period antecedent to the Education Act 1872, the second that from 1872 to 1901, and the third the period 1901 to 1922 which deals with the changed administration under the first Director of Education.
The picture of the state of our educational system to-day, presented in the concluding chapters of this book, should serve to satisfy our people that Victoria has in these fifty years travelled far towards the goal of providing most liberal and wide-spread facilities for the development of a country's greatest national resource - the brains and hearts of its children.
