Excerpt from Clericalised Education in Ireland a Plea for Popular Control, Vol. 1
The object of this, and succeeding pamphlets, is to stimulate the interest and agitation now being manifested generally by the democracy throughout Ireland, concerning the urgent need for an efficient system of Primary Education, to dispute the right, on National and practical grounds, of clerical supervision in the matter, and to urge the immediate necessity for associating the laity with the entire management and administration of secular education in our National Schools.
The two present articles endeavour to show, in the first chapter, that the clericalised, medi?val nature of the prevailing system is, to a great extent, responsible for the deplorably backward condition of Ireland; and in the second chapter, the unwarrantable circumstances enveloping the teacher, resulting undoubtedly from our obsolete autocratic education system.
The subsequent pamphlets will deal with the condition of National Schools, the attitude of Irish Members of Parliament and the Press to popular control, the Board of Education, and the Remedy.
