Excerpt from History of Elementary Education in England and Wales: From 1800 to the Present Day

The aim of this book is primarily to present a concise and accurate account of the evolution of the system of elementary schooling in England and Wales as we know it to-day. It covers on broad lines the history of Elementary Education in this country since 1800. and meets the requirements of, for instance, the Syllabus of the Board of Education for teachers in training.

The need for such a book is widely admitted. The development of our educational system during the last fifty years, and particularly during the last decade, has been'wide and rapid. The result is that all who are closely concerned with education, and especially teachers, are finding a knowledge'of the history of elementary education in England and Wales in the nineteenth century to be almost essential to their work. Witness the inclusion of the subject in the syllabus for Training Colleges and for the Higher Froebel Certificate, and in the education course of almost every University in the country. The time therefore seems ripe for taking stock of what has been achieved, and seeing in what directions further progress is tending.
