Book is a history of that change culminated in the Education Act of 1902, passed, by a Conservative Government in the face of bitter Radical & Liberal opposition.The Radicals, in the early part of the nineteenth century, were preaching the doctrine of 'useful knowledge'. Previously, religion had been the leading aim of English education& the two universities -the public /grammar schools were founded on that premise. Immense advances in scientific knowledge were reflected in changes in the curricula of schools / universities where the classics / divinity had to yield ground to the physical sciences.
