Evidence: | Juvenile schoolroom at Holloway Prison:
'Mr Barre, the teacher, [was] busy with a class of boys, who were reading their primers. The lessons consisted of monosyllables, such as "They walk by faith and not by sight"... The teacher was seated in his uniform by a table, with a class of half a dozen boys ranged on a form before him. Some were writing on their slates, while others were reading. Sometimes they read together, and at other times one boy read by himself... After hearing them read for some time, the teacher exercised them in simple questions of mental arithmetic...' |
