COMPULSORY SCHOOL-ATTENDANCE LEGISLATION

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

COMPULSORY SCHOOL-ATTENDANCE LEGISLATION. The natural corollary of the
taxation of the wealth of the State to educate the children of the State,
and the prohibition of children to labor, is the compulsion of children to
attend school that they may receive the instruction and training which the
State has deemed it wise to tax its citizens to provide.

In Denmark and Sweden the development of state schools has been worked
out, much as in England, in cooeperation with the Church, and the Church
still assists the State in the administration and supervision of the
school systems which were eventually evolved. In each of these countries,
too, the continental two-class school system has been somewhat modified by
an upward movement of the transfer point between the two and the
development of people”s high schools, so as to produce a more democratic
type of school and afford better educational opportunities to all classes
of the population. The annexed diagram, showing the organization of
education in Denmark, is typical of this modification and extension.

The demand for an upward extension of the public school, which would

provide academy instruction for the poor as well as the rich, and in one
common public higher school, now made itself felt
The demand for an upward extension of the public school, which would
provide academy instruction for the poor as well as the rich, and in one
common public higher school, now made itself felt. As the colonial Latin
grammar school had represented the educational needs of a society based on
classes, and the academies had represented a transition period and marked
the growth of a middle class, so the rising democracy of the second
quarter of the nineteenth century now demanded and obtained the democratic
high school, supported by the public and equally open to all, to meet the
educational needs of a new society built on the basis of a new and
aggressive democracy. Where, too, the academy had represented in a way a
missionary effort–that of a few providing something for the good of the
people (Rs. 319, 325)–the high school on the other hand represented a
cooeperative effort on the part of the people to provide something for
themselves.
