Bright the Vision (eBook, ePUB)

Public School Missions from the Victorian Age

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Edward Thring, Headmaster of Uppingham School, encouraged his privileged boys to remember the plight of the poor and to assist them through charitable donation and direct action. They responded by founding the first public school mission in 1870, at North Woolwich in London's East End. Over the course of the next 40 years, many more schools and two universities followed this example. Bright the Vision is the story of 22 of those school missions and their legacy. With contributions from HRH The Princess Royal, Lucinda Matthews-Jones and the Bishop of Worcester, this wide-ranging book describes the forerunners and forefathers of the Welfare State. The schools are Bradfield College, Charterhouse, Cheltenham Ladies' College, Clifton College, Dulwich College, Durham School, Eton College, Haileybury, Harrow School, Highgate School, King's School Canterbury, Marlborough College, Monkton Combe School, Radley College, Repton School, Rugby School, Shrewsbury School, The Leys School, Tonbridge School, Uppingham School, Wellington College and Winchester College.
