Excerpt from Royal Education Commission, 1886-8: A Summary of the Final Report, Containing the Conclusions and Recommendations of the Commissioners

The great interest and anxiety with which the Final Report of the Royal Education Commission has been looked for by all classes in any way affected by the working of the Elementary Education Acts, has induced me to draw up a short summary of the conclusions arrived at. and the recommendations made by the Commission in the voluminous Report recently presented to Her Majesty. In dealing with the Report I have had to bear in mind that the space at my command would allow of nothing more than a brief epitome of an important document. I have, therefore, seldom reproduced the arguments upon which the Commissioners have based the results of their inquiry, save where they seemed to be of exceptional importance. The same method has been followed in treating the testimony of individual witnesses.

A Report has been presented signed by fifteen members of the Commission, consisting of the Chairman (Viscount Cross), Cardinal Manning, the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl Beauchamp, the Bishop of London, Lord Norton, Sir Francis Sandford. Archdeacon B. F. Smith, the Rev. Dr. J. H. Rigg, Canon Gregory, the Rev. Dr. T. D. C. Morse, Mr. C. H. Alderson, Mr. J. G. Talbot, M.P., and Mr. Samuel Rathbone.
