| dc.description.abstract | From 1869 to 1874 the Gladstone Ministry initiated a number of Liberal measures to increase the happiness of Britons. Among the legislative acts was the Elementary Education Act of 1870, which began a dual system of Anglican and secular elementary schools in England and Wales providing an educational opportunity for millions of children. Before the Education Act received the royal assent the elementary school issue stimulated the activities of educational interest groups. My objective throughout has been to examine the two principal educational interests and their effect on the British government's legislative activity. The study does not claim to be exhaustive, but suggests interest groups had limited influence on government legislation. | |
