Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elementary Education Act, 1870: With Introduction, Notes, and Index, Appendix Containing the Incorporated Statutes The Elementary Education Act, 1870, is a statute which is calculated, more than any other of recent times to elevate the masses of the people; and is the result of many years agitation by the various religious denominations and political parties in the State. The object which it will accomplish may be stated in a very few words. It will place an elementary school wherever there is a child to be taught, whether of rich or poor parents: and it will compel every parent and guardian of a child to have it taught, at least, the rudiments of education, and that without reference to any religious creed or persuasion. The Editor, at the request of the Publishers, has prepared the present work, and trusts that it Will be found to be a useful and practical guide to all those who may be called upon officially or otherwise to bring the Act into operation. In the Appendix will be found all the Incorporated Acts, besides other useful information. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
