I certainly agree that the Reconstruction administrations understood how school education could implant lifelong ways of thinking in young minds (as the Jesuits say: "give me the child when he is seven and I will show you the man"). This combined with ideas about education that were developing around the English-speaking world at the same time. I think it was at about this time that the British government in London was developing the idea of national standards and teaching styles for public schools. Certainly it was only a decade later that the colony of South Australia started to impose centralised controls over the schools in its territory.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086934814887206453noreply@blogger.com
