    Socialism and Education in Britain 1883 -1902

    Socialism and Education in Britain 1883 -1902 by Kevin Manton A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PhD) Institute of Education University of London September 1998 (i.omcN) 1 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the policies of the socialist movement in the last two decades of the nineteenth century with regard to the education of children. This study is used to both reassess the nature of these education policies and to criticise the validity of the historiographical models of the movement employed by others. This study is thematic and examines the whole socialist movement of the period, rather than a party or an individual and as such draws out the common policies and positions shared across the movement. The most central of these was a belief that progress in what was called the 'moral' and the 'material' must occur simultaneously. Neither the ethical transformation of individuals, nor, the material reformation of society alone would give real progress. Children, for example, needed to be fed as well as educated if the socialist belief in the power of education and the innate goodness of humanity was to be realised. This belief in the unity of moral and material reform effected all socialist policies studied here, such as those towards the family, teachers, and the content of the curriculum. The socialist programme was also heavily centred on the direct democratic control of the education system, the ideal type of which actually existed in this period in the form of school boards. The socialist programme was thus not a utopian wish list but rather was capable of realisation through the forms of the state education machinery that were present in the period.

    The Proceedings of the South Place Ethical Society

    Tor The Proceedings of the South Place Ethical Society Vol. 105 No. 7 . £1.50 - July/August, 2000 EDITORIAL - FROM DUALISM TO MATERIALISM THERE is a chronic confusion abroad concerning the alternative ways available of describing the cause of behaviour: roughly speaking we may use mental or physical language, referring to mind or brain respectively. This in turn stems from the dualistic theory that we have an immaterial mind which acts on the material body. Mental language sounds 'ordinary and not particularly scientific. For example, one might say of someone's anti-social behaviour that it was due to his mind having been influenced by his parents or his environment. The second way might go something like this: the cause of someone's anti- social behaviour is the presence in his brain of a particular neurological structure. Thus we have two apparently competing ways of talking about the problem. Dualism is unable to resolve this conflict, which, owing to the advance of science, is rapidly approaching a crisis. As scientists obtain ever more information about the detailed structure of the brains responsible for the variety Of human behaviour, they are able to locate the immediate cause of the behaviour in some particular part or process of the brain. For any machine, we have various ways of accounting for what takes place, different levels of description. For example, consider the action of a computer. We may choose to describe its actions in terms of how it has been programmed for its current task, or alternatively, from the point of view of the electronic engineer, in terms of its physics, eg thc tiny voltages in its various parts.

    BRENTHAM LIVES _____________________ __ Frederick James Gould 1855 - 1938 Frederick and his wife Mahalah, their son Julian and daughter Romola lived in ARMOREL, Woodfield Avenue from 1910 Frederick Gould was a notable educationalist, secularist and one of the first to use the term “Humanist”If in later its modernin life say sense. where from and names of WIFE KIDS ETC He was expectedOccupation to have a distinguished future in Christian education but his career became more difficult as his writings on humanism and agnosticism came to the attention of his employers. It appears thatLocal Mahalah interests was hobbies sympathetic etc. to his views, often attending meetings with him. He helped set up various societies to advance secularism, including the forerunner of the British Humanist Association. In 1896 he left teaching to become Secretary of the Leicester Secular Society. He described the membership as “Co-operators, Individualists, Radicals, with a few humble Socialists mixed in.” In 1910 he moved to Ealing to become a lecturer for the Moral Instruction League which sought to encourage moral lessons without theology in schools. Secularist ideals were part of the planning of Brentham and the knowledge that Holyoake Walk was named after his friend George Holyoake (the last man imprisoned for atheism in England) must have made it an attractive community to the family. He was interested in the life of Brentham, writing to the magazine and donating books to the tenant’s library. Gould lectured all over the world and wrote numerous books & pamphlets, many of which are still published. See: www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_James_Gould & www.leicestersecularsociety.org.uk/gould_life.htm After Frederick’s son, an artist, was killed in action in 1917 (Julian Gould Brentham Archives) he became involved with the League of Nations.
  • Educating the Secular Citizen in English Schools, 1897–1938

    Educating the Secular Citizen in English Schools, 1897–1938

    Educating the secular citizen in English schools, 1897–1938 Susannah Wright None of the major English secularist organisations1 in the early twentieth century could boast about membership figures as an indicator of their strength and influence. Compared with most Christian churches, and as a proportion of the general population, they were small. They did, however, claim to have achieved a diffuse impact on wider societal thinking and debate. National Secular Society (NSS) leaders, for example, asserted that the ideals and ideas that they stood for had gained “a hold on the public mind”. Oxford classicist Professor Gilbert Murray stated that the “spirit” of Positivism had “got abroad” at a time when only remnants of Positivist organisations remained.2 These were outcomes that secularists strove, actively, to achieve. Energetic and canny publicists, they disseminated their ideas in letters and personal conversation, on the platform, and in print. Their influence in scientific, literary and left-leaning political circles has been noted; by the early twentieth century, a growing scientific and social-scientific elite, influential in governance and welfare movements, might not have joined secularist bodies, but sympathised with some of their arguments.3 Secularists also targeted the captive audience of young people who were compelled to spend five days a week, over much of the year, in schools. Through pressure groups, they lobbied educational authorities, and produced teaching aids, aiming to shape the teaching in schools in ways that would promote their interests. Not least among these interests was the desire to instil the knowledge, values and behaviours that would prepare pupils for their future lives as adult citizens, but outside of a Christian framework.

    Schwartz, Infidel Feminism (2013)

    6 Freethought and Free Love? Marriage, birth control and sexual morality uestions of sex were central to Secularism. Even those Freethinkers who desperately sought respectability for the movement found Q it impossible to avoid the subject, for irreligion was irrevocably linked in the public mind with sexual license. Moreover, the Freethought movement had, since the beginning of the nineteenth century, been home to some of the leading advocates of sexual liberty, birth control and marriage reform. A complex relationship existed between these strands of sexual dissidence – sometimes conficting, at other times coming together to form a radical, feminist vision of sexual freedom. If a ‘Freethinking’ vision of sexual freedom existed, it certainly did not go uncontested by others in the movement. Nevertheless, the intellectual and political location of organised Freethought made it fertile ground for a radical re-imagining of sexualCIRCULATION norms and conduct. Te Freethought renunciation of Christianity necessarily entailed a rejection of the moral authority of the Church, particularly its role in legitimising sexual relations. Secularists were therefore required to fnd a new basis for morality, and questions of sex were at the centre of this project to establish new ethical criteria. In some cases Secularists’ rejec- tion of Christian asceticism and their emphasis on the material world could alsoFOR lead to a positive attitude to physical passions in both men and women. Te central Freethinking principle of free enquiry necessi- tated a commitment to open discussion of sexual matters, and while this ofen generated a great deal of anxiety, the majority of the movement’s leadership supported the need for free discussion.

It investigates why there was widespread interest in character formation in the elementary school at this time but not support for one particular sort of programme. It investigates how moral education was perceived, approached, and implemented by the education department, the general public, School Board and Education Committee members, and teachers in schools, offering a comprehensive and detailed investigation into these issues. Much of the study focuses on one distinctive approach to moral education in this period - secular moral instruction. A range of sources are interrogated, allowing access to the different, but sometimes overlapping, perspectives of policy-makers, educationalists, the organisations and individuals who promoted moral education (particularly the Moral Instruction League, George Dixon and FJ Gould), authors of teaching material, and inspectors and head teachers in schools.
