Education of the agricultural labourer’s child faces obstinate impediments
The article argues that field labour, poor roads, and irregular attendance hinder schooling for rural children. It notes Germany’s model of seasonal education, debates elasticity in law, and the reluctance of Midland farmers to expand schools. Railways, religious tolerance, and cautious compulsory education reform emerge as key factors shaping progress and public sentiment.
