"Education, education, education" is a slogan of current
government, but in the mid-nineteenth century it also was at the
heart of the debate about Britain's position in the world. The
social problems accompanying industrialization and rapid urban
growth provoked a widespread debate which forced education onto the
political agenda, and the new ideas about teaching methods,
curricula and the physical and moral care of children developed
rapidly. This study, based on a unique cache of records of the
Admiralty Schools at Greenwich, provides an extraordinary and
striking insight into the problems and the achievements of
mid-nineteenth schools. The story is enhanced by the connection
with the Royal Navy--a major arm of empire--and provides
unprecedented insight into the forces at the root of the sweeping
changes of the period.
