Printed in Belgium FOREWORD There can be little doubt that history will remember the twentieth century for the recognition of the importance of the first years in a child’s development. Work carried out in the field of genetic psychology throughout this century has profoundly changed the traditional view of early childhood: previously essentially a subject of care, for the most part, the young child has become the subject of education. For several years, pre-school education has been a topic of discussions which have dealt not only with the issue of the place of women in society, but also with the role which attendance at institutions with an edupational purpose can play in the development of young children and in their subsequent integration into school. The importance of the issue is recognised by the relevant authorities in all the Member States of the European Union, and measures aimed at the development of this level of education are being taken by most of them. Knowing the extent to which this question is being discussed, the Task Force Human Resources, Education, Training and Youth of the European Commission has had this study of it undertaken.

    David Stow: Christian Educator in Nineteenth Century Scotland

    Journal of Religious Education (2020) 68:233–247 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40839-020-00103-9 David Stow: Christian educator in nineteenth century Scotland Stephen J. McKinney1 Published online: 2 July 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The educational work of David Stow evolved in three phases. He established a Sabbath school and helped to introduce both infant schooling and teacher training in Glasgow, Scot- land in the nineteenth century. He helped to establish the Glasgow Normal Seminary and later he joined the Free Church of Scotland Normal Seminary. Stow was a committed Pres- byterian Christian, and this motivated him and was at the centre of all of the three phases of his educational work. He was dedicated to the school education of the poor, similar to other educators of his time. He understood this mission to the poor as a means to res- cue them from the corrupting infuences in their urban settings. The corrupting infuences would be replaced, however, by social control and the promotion of Christianity. This arti- cle presents an examination of the close links between his strongly held Christian beliefs, Christian worldview and his vision of schooling and teacher preparation. Keywords David Stow · Glasgow Normal Seminary · Religious education · Bible 1 Introduction The name David Stow (1793–1864) is known in the city of Glasgow because the Stow Col- lege that was opened in 1934 was named after him. This is located not far from the centre of the city and is now named the Stow Building, School of Fine Art Studios and Workshops of the Glasgow School of Art.

In the early 1990s Jordanhill College merged with the University of Strathclyde which still owns the campus. The University decided to relocate its activities from the Jordanhill Campus to their City Centre Campus and in 2000 began the process of redevelopment of the Jordanhill Campus by selling an area of land for housing to the south and north of the current site. In 2007 a Campus Plan was prepared, updated in 2008, setting out the principles for redevelopment of the site for housing, while maintaining the sports pitches and addressing issues such as public transport, including a possibility of the formation of a railway station at Westbrae Drive, funded by SPT with a financial contribution also from any housing developer.

I am well aware that a lot of Scots want Independence but there are also a lot that don't. On a decision like this I'd like to see that for Scotland to go Independent then 50+% of Scots must vote for Independence.

Stow’s aim in education was to educate the whole person and that entailed the physical, intellectual and moral. This was a vision he put into practice. This short article provides an overview of the work of David Stow. David Stow was born in Paisley on the 17th May 1793. He was a pupil at Paisley Grammar and entered into business with his brother-in-law in 1811, aged 18. Six years later he was a partner in Wilson, Stow and Company, a silk firm. He lived and worked in Glasgow and he became very anxious about the serious impact of poverty on the lives and moral character of children in the densely populated city. He was motivated by his Christian faith and was influenced by Dr. Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) who was appointed Church of Scotland minister to the Tron Church in 1815 and then in 1819 to St. John’s. Stow became an elder of St. John’s Church and opened a Sabbath School in the Saltmarket in Glasgow in 1816.
