Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Schools: At the Reformation, Formation, 1546-8 Edward VI.: Spoiler of Schools. Never was a great reputation more easily gained and less deserved than that of King Edward VI. as a founder of schools. If the ordinary educated person were asked to whom our system of secondary education was mainly due, and who was the founder of most of the Grammar Schools on which it chiefly rests, he would answer, without hesitation, Edward VI. The magnificent foundations of Christs Hospital and Birmingham Grammar School, and the numerous Edward VI. Grammar Schools which stud the country, would rise up before his mind, and he would give the credit of them to their reputed founder. Even to those people who credit William of Wykeham with the foundation of our public school system in founding Winchester, and credit Henry VIII. with the cathedral schools, such as the Kings School, Canterbury, Edward VI. still stands out as par excellence the founder of schools and patron saint of industrious schoolboys. So widespread is this reputation that even such an authority as Mr. J.R. Green, in his famous Short History of the English People burns incense before the shrines of Edward VI. and of his father and sister, as the founders of English education. Summing up the state of learning in the reign of Edward VI., he says: All teaching ceased at the Universities; the students, indeed, had fallen off in number, the libraries were in part scattered or burnt, the intellectual impulse of the New Learning had died away.
