| Summary |
In Australia the system of public education had to be evolved in a society corrupted by convictism, torn by religious rivalry and scattered thinly by an inhospitable terrain. This book cover the development and establishment of public education from 1788-1900, a chapter in Australian history which in the words of the author "represents a vindication of the belief that every Australian child could be given an effective elementary education no matter how isolated his home or impoverished his parents".
