He championed the school board cause during the latter half of the Victorian era, a time of tremendous educational change in England. With the great increase in urban populations, the schooling provided by voluntary organizations had become inadequate. The state had taken control of education, working through its local representatives, the elected school boards. But controversy arose between churches, which were opposed to secular education, and school boards, and between local and central authorities. The author follows Stanley's political career, clarifying the views of the school board supporters and analyzing the political differences underlying the controversies. Students of education, history, and politics can benefit from his contribution to the re-assessment of this turbulent period in English educational history.EducationGreat BritainHistory19th centuryEducationHistory370/.92/4Jones Alan W.1933-1230839MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154973003321Lyulph Stanley2857791UNINA
