Excerpt from The Education Bill of 1906: An Analysis, and a Brief Survey of the Education Question From 1870 IT is almost inevitable in a country where popular government exists, that any measure of wide effect should be widely discussed. It is not perhaps equally inevitable, but it is almost invariably the fact that much of this discussion is based upon totally inadequate information, and that the popular impressions of Acts of Parliament are taken from the utterances of the Parliamentary leaders of those who support or oppose them. This is as true of the Education Bill lately before Parliament as of any other, and men have been found condemning or praising it without having read one of its provisions or one of the amendments proposed by the House of Lords. To find a remedy for this state of things is the more difficult, inasmuch as the only information which has been generally accessible, either of the Lords' amend ments or of the proposals finally put forward by the Government, is that contained in the daily Press.

To a greater or less extent we shall have the voluntary school system reestablished on the footing of 1870 to 1902; that is to say, grant aided and independent of the local education authority. And within the administration of the local education authority will be two other kinds of schools--. undenominational and denominational. The fact itself of this new tripartite classification of the public elementary schools is of prime importance. The contraction or extension of its importance in the practical work of future years will depend chiefly upon the local education authorities. c The Schoolmaster (edited by Doctor Macnamara), which from first to last has opposed the concession of "extended facilities," explains the influences that are working to restore certified, private, state-aided schools, as follows: It is, of course, extremely easy to see how "contracting out" has been brought about. The extreme wing of nonconformity wants the denominational schools outside, so that they may be slowly extinguished as a result of the pressure of Whitehall demands. The extreme denominationalist wants them outside, because it puts them and the teachers again into the hollow of his hand. Finally, there is the ratepayer. He will be the most potent influence in this nefarious scheme. He has hated the act of 1902, not so much on account of any religious disability it imposed upon him, as because of the fact that it imposed upon him--in a great many areas for the first time--burdens of rating. It will be his persistent purpose to make the conditions of clause 4 so onerous that, with this " contracting out" as an alternative, denominationalists asking for " extended facilities" will have, in a...
