Originally published in 1989. This book defines and explains in
simple language the essential characteristics of the school
curriculum and the forces which act on it. The National Curriculum
provides an integrating theme throughout the book, and the author
gives a list of suggested further reading. This is not just a
standard first year text for students starting B.Ed and PGCE
courses but also an introduction for school governors who under the
1986 and 1988 Education Acts have an increased responsibility for
the curriculum in their schools.

John Mathew was a Presbyterian minister who developed an interest
in Aboriginal ethnography after migrating from Scotland to work on
his uncle's farm in Queensland in 1864. From 1879 he published
influential studies of Aboriginal culture. Although Mathew's
speculative argument for the tri-hybrid origins of the Australian
Aborigines has long been disproved, his discussion of Aboriginal
language and social behaviour was pioneering in the field of
anthropology and is still well-regarded today. Two Representative
Tribes of Queensland (1910) is the result of the extensive time
Mathew spent visiting the Kabi and Wakka people living in the
Barambah Government Aboriginal Station. This direct experience is
emphasised in the preface to the book: 'For Mr Mathew Australian
origins ... have been a life study, and the knowledge bearing upon
these questions, which most others have gleaned from the library
shelves, he has acquired at first-hand in the native camping
grounds.'
