Brennan INTRODUCTION Reflecting the general lack of concern for education in the 1820's,the plans for the Swan River Settlement contained no scheme for the establishment of schools. Both nature and man mitigated against the early creation of a viable education system. The concentration upon the problem of survival meant that there were few resources for schools, while child labour played an important role in the economy, The land grant system together with poor soil resulted in a dispersed settlement which made the provision of schools expensive. Without resources, the District Boards were incapable of providing education and this, together with the Government administrative structure ensured the early establishment of a centralized education system. The centralized educational administration and the cost of education in remote areas, have remained features of the educational history of the colony and state. The Government which today exerts a controlling influence on education, played a minor role in the early lean years of the colony \vhen many families had to appeal to the Governor for sustenance. At that time a number of individuals set up schools, some as a source of livelihood and others for idealistic motives. The first great impetus to educational development, however, was the missionary activity of the Roman Catholic Church which spurred the Government to create National Schools for the defence of the Protestant faith. In 1871 the Government granted assistance to church schools and through payment by results were able to control the pattern of academic education in non-government schools, This system broke up over the teaching of religion in assisted schools and after 1895 the Roman Catholics financed their system from their own financial resources. It was not until after· 1955 that substantial state aid was again accorded to church schools. A form of control was exercised over non-Government schools in the intervening period because of the dominance over secondary education by the Public Examinations Board. After Cyril Jackson became the professional head of the Education Department in 1897, Government school policy was dominated by a series of strong personalities who follmved him in this position. The most important means of formulating changes in Government school policy since World War II has been by reports from Departmental committees, sometimes outside representation, which were established to investigate a particular aspect of educational policy. A further important development during the twentieth century has been the growth of the influence of the State School Teachers' Union on both the industrial and professional aspects of government education policy and practice. The provision of education over the period became more egalitarian, like Australian Society as a whole. The first major stage in this process was the establishment of a system of elementary education catering for most children by the end of the 19th century. This was followed by the development of secondary education, which from the 1870's had been the privilege of the children of wealthy parents. This took place in the early years of the century, a period which saw great economic growth, the employment of Cyril Jackson and Cecil Andrews as Directors of Education, and the increasing influence of the Western Australian Labour Party. But secondary education was available only to academically gifted children and those who could afford to go to private schools. Tertiary education also first developed in the early years of the century, but this was available to only a small number of students. Between the wars, educational developments were very limited and were, in the main, aimed at maintaining the system in a period of increasing Commonwealth control of Government finance and economic difficulty. The third stage has occurred since 1945 with the development of comprehensive high schools, availability of Commonwealth Scholarships for tertiary and, later, secondary students and the promise of a wider range of tertiary education. This has extended the educational opportunities of the bulk of the population. Education for minority groups, ethnic, disadvantaged and disabled, has until recent years been left as the responsibility o£ ecclesiastical, socially-concerned or philanthropic groups. Since the Second World War and complementary to a rapidly expanding population Hhich took costs beyond the means of most charitable groups, the Corrm1omvealth has accepted an increasing responsibility in this area. From the entry of the Commonwealth into the Income Tax field. in 1915, educational policy has been increasingly dependent upon the provision of Commonwealth finance to the State. For a long time the Commonwealth extended a negative and indirect influence through depriving the state of funds, and it has only been since \vorld War II that the Commonwealth role in W.A. education has been direct and positive. 1 1.

Don and Robert presented the journal editors with a very unusual dilemma prior to the publication of the last issue. They both submitted virtually the same story quite independently. Third cousins, they had not met previously! As it turns out, Don had obtained a photocopy of Caroline Broun’s diary from Robert’s father in the early 1970s. The diary is now in Robert’s possession having inherited his father’s papers and documents. This diary contains Caroline Broun’s writings, copies of letters, records of family events and newspaper cuttings, which appears to have commenced after she returned to England in 1849. Caroline Broun (1804 – 1881) is Don’s 3 times great grandmother and Robert’s 2 times great grandmother. We start with her account of the sinking of the Hindoo. It tells something of her character. The Shipwreck On 9 September 1848 “Mrs. P. Broun” was aboard the Hindoo bound for London from Fremantle. Caroline Broun was the only woman on board and she wrote the following (probably to her 1 son James), reported in the Inquirer 18 July 1849 : “Jan.

At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

    WESTERN AUSTRALIA A HISTORY FROM ITS DISCOVERY TO THE INAUGURATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH BY J.S. BATTYE, LITT.D. PUBLIC LIBRARIAN OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1924. OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON, EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, COPENHAGEN, NEW YORK, TORONTO, MELBOURNE, CAPE TOWN, BOMBAY, CALCUTTA, MADRAS, SHANGHAI. HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY. PREFACE. In view of the prominent part taken by Australia in the recent war, and the enthusiasm which the achievements of the Australian Forces have aroused throughout the Empire, the story of one of the great States of the Australian Commonwealth may not be without some general interest. The work has been the result of over twenty years' research, undertaken, in the first instance, in conjunction with the Registrar-General (Mr. M.A.C. Fraser) and his Deputy (Mr. W. Siebenhaar) for the purpose of checking the historical introduction to the Year Book of Western Australia. It has since been continued in the hope that it may prove a contribution of more or less value to the history of colonial development. In the prosecution of the work, the files of the Public Record Office, London, were searched, and copies made of all documents that could be found which related to the establishment and early years of the colony. These copies are now in the possession of the Public Library of Western Australia, which contains also most of the published matter in the way of books and pamphlets dealing with the colony, as well as almost complete files of the local newspapers to date, and the original records of the Colonial Secretary's Office up to 1876.

    WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, arrivals 1829-1850 Leigh S. L. Beaton, B.A (Honours) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2004 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary institution. …………………………. (Leigh Beaton) i THESIS ABSTRACT Before the end of 1850, Scottish settlers in Western Australia represented a small minority group of what was, in terms of the European population, a predominantly English colony. By comparison to the eastern Australian colonies, Western Australia attracted the least number of Scottish migrants. This thesis aims to broaden the historiography of Scottish settlement in Australia in the nineteenth century by providing insights into the lives of Westralian Scots. While this thesis broadly documents Scottish settlement, its main focus is Scottish identity. Utilising techniques of nominal record linkage and close socio- biographical scrutiny, this study looks beyond institutional manifestations of Scottish identity to consider the ways in which Scottishness was maintained in everyday lives through work, social and religious practices. This thesis also demonstrates the multi-layered expressions of national identity by recognising Scottish identity in the Australian colonies as both Scottish and British. The duality of a Scottish and British identity made Scots more willing to identify eventually as Westralian
