In the extensive literature on Canadian educational history, these two areas have remained largely on the periphery. No detailed picture exists of the early attempts to teach workers to fit into a Canadian society shaped by the Industrial Revolution. The provincial systems taught basic literacy to children, but did not offer specialized or adult education. Instead, technical education, under a variety of names and guises, occupied the thoughts of educational reformers, educators, legislators, manufacturers, etc., not to mention the 'mechanics' or 'artisans' who might receive it. The book describes both formal training (specialist schools, night classes, teacher training in science and art) and informal means of educating (public lectures, journalism, societies, exhibitions, etc.). The focus is upon the rural and industrial populations, rather than on middle-class-oriented professional and commercial education. The state was central to these efforts, both formal and informal, throughout the century. Earlier studies of specific aspects of education have often ignored events and ideas outside a particular region or group; Jarrell emphasizes the wider context underlying ideas about agricultural and technical education (British, French, American, Irish) and underscores the interplay between the two provinces."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAgricultural education$zOntario 606 $aAgricultural education$zOntario$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAgricultural education$zQue?bec (Province)$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aAgricultural education 615 0$aAgricultural education$xHistory 615 0$aAgricultural education$xHistory 676 $a630.7109729 700 $aJarrell$b Richard A.$01188701 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824001703321 996 $aEducating the neglected majority$93940244 997 $aUNINA
