Their Relation to the Boarders and to the School generally. These nine Foundations, though differing in many respects from each other, have many features in common; and in each case the School, properly so called, is subject to some governing authority, charged with the care and legal ownership of such endowments as it possesses, and invested with powers, more or less extensive, of control.
We commenced our investigation by addressing to the Governing Body of every School, or to its authorized representatives, a uniform series of printed Questions, so framed as to embrace more or less completely the whole field of inquiry, and so arranged as to follow the main lines marked out by Your Majesty's Commission. Of the Three Parts into which these questions were divided, the first related to the property and income of the several Schools; the second to the administration and management of them; the third to the system and course of study pursued in them, to the religious and moral training of the boys, their discipline and general education.
In the Letter accompanying these Questions we added that we should be happy to receive any information pertinent to our Inquiry, though not within the range of the Questions, and any recommendations or suggestions which the persons addressed might deem calculated to promote the efficiency and extend the usefulness of their several Foundations. The Head Master's attention was directed to certain specified Questions, which he was requested to answer in his own name; and he was further invited to furnish any statements or suggestions which he might think calculated to promote the objects of the inquiry.
The Answers returned to these Questions, including a considerable mass of tabulated matter relating to the property and income and to the organization and teaching of the Schools, are annexed, together with the Questions themselves, to this Report. These may be divided into four classes: Persons officially connected with the Schools as members of the Governing Bodies, Trustees, or the like, Masters or Assistant Masters, or in other capacities; b. Persons who had held positions of this kind, but had ceased to hold them; c. Persons who had been educated at the several Schools, and had so recently quitted them that their recollections and knowledge were still fresh, whilst they had had time to test in some degree the results of their own training by subsequent thought and observation; d.
Persons whether educated at Public Schools or not eminent in Science or Literature, and qualified by observation or reflection to throw light upon the subject of a liberal education. A few junior boys on the Foundation of certain schools were examined for special reasons, which will sufficiently appear from their evidence.
With the view of enabling ourselves to form an opinion of the results of the teaching given by these Schools, as regards boys of not more than average industry and capacity and whose names would not, therefore, be found in lists of University honours and distinctions, we proposed to institute an Examination of a certain proportion of the boys actually receiving education there, such Examination to be of a simple kind, and conducted by Examiners of acknowledged competency. It was obvious, however, that a test of this nature could not be satisfactorily applied without the willing co-operation of the Head Master of each School.
We found ourselves unable to obtain this general concurrence, two Head Masters only those of Rugby and Shrewsbury having signified to us, and that with some reluctance, their assent to the proposal, and we, therefore, thought it right to abandon it. The correspondence on this subject is also annexed to our Report. With a similar object, we addressed some printed Questions to eminent persons, experienced as Tutors, Professors, or otherwise, in the work of education in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and we have to thank these gentlemen for the replies with which they were good enough to furnish us.
We have also obtained, by application to H. These returns, together with the replies from Oxford and Cambridge, will be found to throw considerable light on the results of the instruction given by the Schools. In several great Schools recently founded in England, endeavours have been made both to improve the received methods of classical instruction, and to combine as far as possible the ordinary advantages of a public school education with opportunities for special attention to subjects formerly excluded altogether from its range.
Marlborough, Cheltenham, and Wellington Colleges are not within the limits of our Commission, but two of them at least have had time to attain great magnitude as well as a high reputation, and we thought it desirable to obtain an account of the system established at each of the three, and of the results, so far us they can be ascertained, of the experience gained in working those systems. This information has been willingly supplied to us, and we have found it very valuable and useful.
We have also received an account of the City of London School, and some evidence respecting the school attached to King's College, each of which presents an example of a great metropolitan school educating a large number of day-scholars with distinguished success. The mission of the Earl of Clarendon to Prussia as Ambassador Extraordinary towards the close of the year offered an opportunity for making some inquiries respecting the higher schools in that country.
