Book Overview

"Communications Respecting Half-Time and Military and Naval Drill, and On the Time and Cost of Popular Education On a Large and On a Small Scale" presents Edwin Chadwick's detailed observations and proposals concerning education and social reform in 19th-century England. Chadwick, a prominent social reformer, examines the efficacy of the 'half-time' system, which combined work and education for young people, and explores the integration of military and naval drill into educational curricula.

The book delves into the costs associated with various scales of popular education, providing a valuable insight into the economic considerations of implementing widespread educational programs. Chadwick's work reflects his commitment to improving social conditions through education and offers a historical perspective on the challenges and opportunities in shaping effective and affordable educational policies. This volume is essential for scholars and students interested in the history of education, social reform movements, and the development of public policy.
