Excerpt from The Popular Education of France: With Notices of That of Holland and Switzerland IN the following account of popular education in certain countries of the Continent, the State and its action are occasionally spoken of in a way which, if quite unexplained, is likely, I know, to offend some of my readers, and to surprise others. With many Englishmen, perhaps with the majority, it is a maxim that the State, the executive power, ought to be en trusted with no more means of action than those which it is impossible to withheld from it; that it neither would nor could make a safe use of any more extended liberty; would not, because it has in itself a natural instinct of despotism, which, if not jealously checked, would become outrageous could not, because it is, in truth, not at all more enlightened, or fit to assume a lead, than the mass of this enlightened connnunity. Accord ing to the long - cherished convictions of a great many, it is for the public interest that Govermnent should l)t' confined, as far as possible, to the bare and indis pensable functions of a police officer and a revenue collector. It is to always the mere delegated hand of the nation, nowr its origina'tting head. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Lord Napier's absence, Mr. Ward, the British Charge d'Affaires at the Hague, to whose kindness I am much indebted, presented me to M. Vollenhoven, the Referendary charged with the department of primary instruction under the authority of the Minister for the Home Department, M. van Tets. M. Vollenhoven not only furnished me with all the official documents which I wished to consult on the subject of primary instruction in Holland, but obligingly placed me in communication with the school-inspectors of the localities which I proposed to visit. My guide at the Hague was M. van Citters, a member of one of the best families in Holland, of good fortune, and a man of letters, but, with the public spirit of which I have before spoken as distinguishing his countrymen, giving his services gratuitously as a school-inspector. Under his guidance I visited one of the public schools of the Hague. It was a mixed school, containing 320 boys and 330 girls; the teaching staff consisted of a head-master, four undermasters, and five pupil-teachers. The head-master has 1000 florins a-year, with a house, fire, and lights; the under-masters have from 350 to 600 florins a-year; the pupil-teachers from 50 to 100, and their instruction. This instruction is organised somewhat differently from that of our pupil-teachers; in each town of Hoi land the whole body of public schoolmasters forms one community, jointly giving instruction to the whole body of pupil-teachers, each master taking his own subject. In Holland, as in our own country, there are at the present moment many complaints that pupilteachers are exceedingly hard to obtain. Those whom I saw appeared to me in general admirably trained;...

"Women Teachers and Popular Education in Nineteenth-Century France is a study of the network of women's teacher training schools, known as the ecoles normales primaires, that were gradually created in France during the nineteenth century. Although this study focuses on the recruitment of teachers, their pedagogical and social instruction, and the teachers' professional formation as part of a corporate group, the book also ties these teacher-related issues to the universal development of public primary education in France. Based on numerous national and departmental archives, the study also explores the social values inherent to public education in modern France through the corporate model of the women's normal schools."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
