Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Ragged Schools: Or Prevention Better Than Cure "Can hope look forward to a manhood raised On such foundations?" "'Hope is none for him!' The pale recluse indignantly exclaimed; 'And tens of thousands suffer wrongs as deep.' "At this day Who shall enumerate the crazy huts And tottering hovels, whence do issue forth A ragged offspring, with thin upright hair, Crowned like the image of fantastic Fear; Or wearing (shall we say?) in that white growth An ill-adjusted turban, for defence Or fierceness, wreathed around their sun-burnt brows By savage Nature? Shrivelled are their lips; Naked, and coloured like the soil, the feet On which they stand, as if thereby they drew Some nourishment, as trees do by their roots, From earth, the common mother of us all. Figure and mien, complexion and attire, Are leagued to strike dismay; but outstretched hand And whining voice denote them suppliants For the least boon that pity can bestow." Wordsworth.

Book excerpt: This influential work was published in 1847 and advocates for the creation and support of schools for impoverished children, who would otherwise not have access to education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the interaction between teachers and scholars, this book provides an intimate account of "ragged schools" that challenges existing scholarship on evangelical child-saving movements and Victorian philanthropy. With Lord Shaftesbury as their figurehead, these institutions provided a free education to impoverished children. The primary purpose of the schools, however, was the salvation of children’s souls. Using promotional literature and local school documents, this book contrasts the public portrayal of children and teachers with that found in practice. It draws upon evidence from schools in Scotland and England, giving insight into the achievements and challenges of individual institutions. An intimate account is constructed using the journals maintained by Martin Ware, the superintendent of a North London school, alongside a cache of letters that children sent him. This combination of personal and national perspectives adds nuance to the narratives often imposed upon historic philanthropic movements. Investigating how children responded to the evangelistic messages and educational opportunities ragged schools offered, this book will be of keen interest to historians of education, emigration, religion, as well as of the nineteenth century more broadly.
