Excerpt from The Schools for the People: Containing the History, Development, and Present Working of Each Description of English School for the Industrial and Poorer Classes

It may, perhaps, strike some who have not studied the subject of Education very deeply, that the number and variety of Schools which appear in the table of contents must be sufficient to meet every possible case, and that after all England is not so far behind in the provision she has made for the training of her children. A closer investigation, however, unfortunately will soon dispel any such delusion. Schools are certainly in existence for almost every class of child, but the accommodation which they provide is far below the requirements, as may be seen by the table at page 26. This, however, is not the worst feature in the case, for so great is the apathy and indifference of parents, caused, it is true, by long neglect, that the provision already made in existing Schools is not taken advantage of to nearly its full extent, in spite of the hundreds of thousands who are growing up in absolute ignorance.
