Contributions fall roughly into the following categories: history of education, sociology, philosophy, comparative education, curriculum and examinations. They have been selected, not for their uniform quality, but rather as illustrating the separate and diverse lines of inquiry which have captured the energies of researchers in Ireland, North and South. We begin with six papers addressing various aspects of the history of education in Ireland. Walsh opens with an analysis of nationalism in the textbooks of the Christian Brothers. Dr. Hyland follows with her discussion of curriculum change at primary level in the past century. Callan describes the transmission of Irish history in education. O'Driscoll explores the struggle of women for equality in the Royal University, while Patrick O'Donovan presents us with Archbishop Walsh and the Commission of Manual and Practical Instruction. Finally, Quinlivan deals with legislative aspects of compulsory attendance for pupils. Caul provides a contemporary sociological case study of Unionist reproduction and control of education in a Northern Ireland borough. Philosophical considerations of aspects of education for work and the notion of the school ethos are elucidated by Geraghty and O'Donovan respectively. Nursery education in Northern Ireland is described by Wells, dhilst Hainsworth examines the notion of educating the Soviet man. Examinations and assessment issues are thz. focus of concern for O'Boyle, McGuinness and MacKeogh. iii I an certain that the reader will find these papers stimulating. They are the fruit of great labour. We owe these writers an e,,ormous intellectual debt. Finally, as Editor, I wish to thank members of the Editorial Board for their assistance and our external referees for their views and helpful criticism. All of these individuals have contributed to bringing out Volume 6. Jim McKernan General Fditor, Education Department University College Dublin. February 1987 7 Irish Educational Studies, Vol.6, No. 2, 1986 NATIONALISM IN THE TEXTBOOKS OF THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS Lorcan Walsh The Commissioners of National Education in Ireland published their own set of reading books in the 1930'E. The central figure in their compilation was James Carlile. Carlile, a Scottish Presbyterian, was one of the seven commissioners of national educaticn appointed in 1831. The Nation described these books as "very useful" and respectable in their proper place ... but that place is not Ireland".1 This view was reflected in evidence to the Powis Commission in 1869: You might have introduced them into a School in Canada or into a School in Africa, as appropriately as into a school in Ireland. 2 The verdict of Cardinal Cullen on the books of the National Board was even more harsh: The value of the books, notwithstanding this exclusion of Irishmen and selection of strangers, is very trifling; and many sill agreed with me in saying that if all the books printed by the National Board were sent to the middle of the Atlantic and cast out into the ocean, Ireland and her literature would suffer no grear _oss. 3 When one considers the popularity of the National Board books in England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand it is a further indication that they contained little content which could be termed specifically 'Irish'. In 1859 the Ballinasloe Union or Workhouse passed a motion noting the books' "total absence of historical information".4 The Board did try to remedy the situation in the 1860's through its attempts to publish an Irish history book of its own. But these attempts never came to fruition.5 The reading books and history books of the Christian Brothers were, in contrast, welcomed from many sources for their attention to Irish history. The Nation noted about the Christian Brothers' books: Their classbooks consist of selections chiefly from native writers ... in the Third and Fourth Literary Class-Books the scholar is introduced to the orators, poets and essayists of his own country - to Curran, Grattan, Sheridan and Shiel - to

  • The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan

    The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan

    THE THRENODIA HIBERNO- CATHOLICA (1659) AND THE IRISH FRANCISCAN COMMUNITY IN THE TYROL By Nienke Tjoelker This article focuses on Maurice Conry’s Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica (1659) and the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol. Conry's work is an example of many Latin works written by Irish exiled clergy on the Continent in the mid-seventeenth century. In this contribution, after outlining the authorial issues, a summary of the contents of the Threnodia is given and then placed in the context of the expatriate clerical Irish of the 1650s. The piece concludes with a section on contemporary reactions to itinerant Irish friars, mainly from within mendicant circles. The Threnodia Hiberno-Catholica, sive Planctus Universalis Totius Cleri et Populi Regni Hiberniae was published under the pseudonym of F. M. Mori- sonus, ordinis observantiae, S. Theologiae Lector, Praefatae Crudelitatis testis ocularis in Innsbruck, 1659. Although often mentioned by historians as an important source for our knowledge of the atrocities of Cromwell against the Irish in the 1650s, little research has been done into this work since Brendan Jennings published his edition of the work in 1947 with a short introduction.1 In this article, I will address the question of why this book was published in Innsbruck, and not in any of the more famous Irish centres on the conti- nent, such as Prague, Paris, or Louvain. The historical context of the Irish Franciscan community in the Tyrol (modern day Tirol in Austria, and Südti- rol and Trentino in Italy) seems to me a gap in the existing research on Irish exile communities on the continent.

GREAT AT LOUVAIN (Special Dispatch by the International News Service) London, Sept. 25.—1 n spite of the controversy over the exact extent to which the ancient city of Louvain was damaged, the allies contending that the Germans practiced vandalism and de- stroyed priceless architectual and art works, while the Germans declare they left the greater portion of the town unharmed, it is certain that the great university there was demolished. The destruction of Louvain has brought a pang to the hearts of the Great Irish people, for the University of Lou- vain was for centuries the great uni- versity for Irish students, and especi- ally ecclesiastical students, there be- ing no such institution in Ireland it- self. Salamanca in Spain and Quimbra in Portugal were others, and the Irish College in Paris—a much later foun- dation than the others—also did good Fashion work for Irish education; hut Louvain Pall the one most intimately connected was with this country. During the last two centuries or so it has turned out over 1300 Irish priests and nearly thirty Irish bishops and archbishops, and it was the prin- cipal center of the education of the Irish priesthood right through the century of the Penal Laws up to the Number establishment of Maynooth in 1793—a project which was warmly supported by the British government, because it was thought that the education of the Irish clergy on the Continent, and es- Sept. —Following terrific fight pecially in France, w as inimical to the Panama, 23.

    I. The Irish Franciscan college of St. Anthony at Louvain was granted a bull of foundation by Pope Paul V on 3 April 1607. This small house in what is now Leuven, Belgium, became one of the most intense centres of Irish engagement with Europe. Its history, both that of the friars who inhabited the college itself and that of the soldiers, diplomats and merchants who supported it, is also the story of Ireland’s decisive step into Europe. St. Anthony’s College owed both its foundation and location to Florence Conry a Franciscan friar and future archbishop of Tuam. Conry, a native of the townland of Figh part of the civil parish of Tibohine, barony of Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon, belonged to the learned family of the Uí Mhaoil Chonaire and had been trained in seanchas or traditional learning before leaving to study in Salamanca. He later entered the Franciscan order and, apart from a short return to Ireland as ‘confessor, adviser and favourite’ of Red Hugh O’Donnell just before the battle of Kinsale in 1601, spent his life in the Spanish dominions. The combination of Gaelic sensibility, Spanish courtiership, political astuteness and Latinate scholarship found in Conry helps explain the choice of Louvain as a novitiate-in-exile and house of studies for the Irish Franciscans. Founded in 1425, Louvain’s medieval university had developed into one of the intellectual powerhouses of Europe. Given its short distance from the border with the Protestant Netherlands the university had become one of the key centres of counter-reformation thought which, when combined with its proximity to the vast printing presses of Antwerp made it an ideal training ground for priests for the Irish mission.
