Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short History of Elementary Education in England
The second period into which we have divided the history is marked off, on the one hand, by rejected Bill of Mr. Whitbread in 1807, 8 and on the other by the accepted Bill of Mr. Forster in 1870. The figures in the date are the same, but how much is involved in the trans position of one of them! At the commencement of this period the establishment of the two great societies already referred to marks the time when the work of elementary education begins to focus, and it becomes possible to follow the continuous stream of its history.
