Before this date education had been dealt with either as a series of individual problems in respect of which provisions were made for the education of special classes of persons, or by executive, as opposed to legislative methods, as, for example, by a system of grants in aid.

Act, 1876, declared 'the duty of the parent of every child to cause such child to receive efficient elementary educatio...
