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. -

William Morris's Culture of Nature
IV The Object of Work 1. Decent surroundings It has been well-established that during the mid to late 1870s Morris became increasingly involved in public political debate, I and that in lectures and letters to the press he began to produce an educating, agitating discourse formulated initially upon his 'hopes and fears for art'.2 More recently, particular attention has been drawn to the ways that Morris's writings on art and society reveal 'a deep and resonant late nineteenth-century critique of contemporary environmental and social devastation'? These discussions have explored Morris's views on the preservation of 'the environment',4 and have tended to emphasise the 'eco-communal' or 'green' aspects of his work. Certainly the desire to protect and preserve the 'beauty of the earth' is a significant feature of Morris's rhetoric at this time. Yet perhaps more fundamental to his lectures and letters of the late 1870s and early 1880s is a concern to establish 'decent surroundings': to offer a view of the earth as a place of human habitation. Nature played an important, though not always central, role in his arguments. Yet what is apparent from the way he discusses nature is his increasing awareness that nature and humanity are interlinked, and that nature is frequently the object of human I Morris's first venture into politics was his involvement in the debate surrounding the 'Eastern Question'. In early 1876 a bankrupt Turkish government retaliated against an uprising of Christians in their Bulgarian province by massacring thousands. Morris was angered when Disraeli's Conservative Government proposed that Britain should intervene on behalf of Turkey against the threat of a Russian invasion. -

The Scottish settlements have attracted little attention from academics and no overarching study of these organisations has previously been done. This thesis seeks to address this lacuna and situate their achievements within the wider context of the changing role of voluntary organisations in this period. Using archival resources, it argues that settlements made important contributions to Scottish society through social work, training courses and adult education. They pioneered new methods, explored new areas of work and provided their local communities with access to services that they may not otherwise have received.
