In the extensive literature on Canadian educational history, these two areas have remained largely on the periphery. No detailed picture exists of the early attempts to teach workers to fit into a Canadian society shaped by the Industrial Revolution. The provincial systems taught basic literacy to children, but did not offer specialized or adult education. Instead, technical education, under a variety of names and guises, occupied the thoughts of educational reformers, educators, legislators, manufacturers, etc., not to mention the 'mechanics' or 'artisans' who might receive it. The book describes both formal training (specialist schools, night classes, teacher training in science and art) and informal means of educating (public lectures, journalism, societies, exhibitions, etc.). The focus is upon the rural and industrial populations, rather than on middle-class-oriented professional and commercial education. The state was central to these efforts, both formal and informal, throughout the century. Earlier studies of specific aspects of education have often ignored events and ideas outside a particular region or group; Jarrell emphasizes the wider context underlying ideas about agricultural and technical education (British, French, American, Irish) and underscores the interplay between the two provinces."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Agricultural education $z Ontario $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Agricultural education $z Quebec (Province) $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Technical education $z Ontario $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Technical education $z Quebec (Province) $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Agricultural education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800702 650 7 $a Technical education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144838 651 7 $a Ontario. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204832 651 7 $a Quebec. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207316 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 1 $a Jarrell, Richard A., 1946-, author. $t Educating the neglected majority. $w (CaOONL)20169028534 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203031310.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=99591624E9E711E69A6025A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
