Excerpt from The Scottish Review, Vol. 2: May and September, 1883 A comparison of primary and secondary education, in respect Of their history and present condition. The latter has been in existence since the introduction Of Christianity into Britain. Long before the Reformation, it had endowments which were misappropriated much as they are new. Acts were passed in its support, but there is no satisfactory evidence that their provisions were strictly, if at all, enforced. It was nurtured by ecclesiastics as being required to provide candidates for holy orders. Though this was the original purpose Of Burgh Schools, we find that so early as in the end of the fifteenth century, laymen took part in them, both as teachers and pupils. Burgesses and freeholders were ordered to send their eldest sons to school at the age Of eight or nine, and to keep them there till they were competently founded and had perfect Latin.' Care was taken that the teachers were properly qualified, and the curriculum Of study, especially in Latin, was sufficiently broad. Under the fostering care Of the Chm'ch they continued to do very good work, but as Latin became gradually a less important instrument in the education of the clergy, the supervision became less strict, and the encourage ment less hearty. For a century past there has been no effective system or complete organisation, and it may be said. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
