| Summary |
About this letter: Thomas Arnold, son or Dr. Arnold of Rugby, came to Tasmania from New Zealand in 1850 to work as an inspector of schools. He proved a scathing critic of Governor Denison's penny-a-day educational system, or his lack of system. Seeking advice and information on matters affecting education Arnold began a correspondence with H.C.E. Childers, Secretary of the Denominational Schools Board of Victoria and one of the foremost colonial educationists. When Childers was promoted to the position of Immigration Agent his place with the Board was taken by squatter, newspaperman and inspector of schools, Colin Campbell, an Oxford graduate in arts. It was to Campbell that Arnold wrote the letter." -- p. 4 |
