Originally published in 1926, Social Progress and Educational Waste: Being a Study of the “Free-Place” and Scholarship System looks at social mobility and the school system intended to help bright students from lower income families gain an advantage via secondary education. Education was only compulsory up to 14 years old in England at the time and provision beyond primary school was not available to all. This book looks at the problem in general and then in specific areas around the country. The hope was to gradually increase the movement between primary and secondary education for children from all backgrounds. Today it can be read in its historical context.
