Publisher's Synopsis
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
The Rev. Henry Moseley, inspector of this district, but Whose able and valuable services we are now losing in this county, on visiting a school in a neighbouring parish, was able to express a good opinion of it. It was his first visit; and the school, (a mixed one under a mistress), from the excellent and judicious management of the clergyman, and the efforts of an active schoolmistress, was in a state to give promise of future good still the tradesmen, and those immediately above the labourer, did not send their daughters, as it was desirable they should, although manifesting an inclination to do so. The effect of Mr. Moseley's visit, and of a few words of com mendation on the school judiciously spoken, and at the same time well deserved, was, that the number of children paying by the quarter increased from three or four to twelve in the course of a week or two. The inspector was not aware that anything he said was likely to tell in this way on the interests of the school, and it was only thought of afterwards upon the children being sent, so evidently in consequence of those remarks.
