This book explores the question of national education, drawing an analogy to the establishment of compulsory relief for the destitute during the sixteenth century. The author, a member of parliament and an advocate for compulsory education, argues that just as society has a moral duty to provide for the physical well-being of its citizens, it also has an obligation to provide for their education. He proposes a system of free, compulsory education for all children of a certain age, funded by parents when possible and by the community when necessary. The author delves into the complexities of such a system, including how to ensure that all children have access to quality education regardless of their background or circumstances. He also addresses concerns about religious instruction and the role of voluntary efforts in education. Ultimately, the book argues for a comprehensive, equitable, and free national education system as a cornerstone of a just and prosperous society.
