Title
New Governing Body: Public Schools Commissioners
Level
Series
Date
1868 - 1962
Content description
These papers cover the work of the New Governing Body in drawing up new Statutes and also Regulations by which the school was to be reformed; these include such matters as age of entrance and arrangements for examinations. The New Governing Body's proposals had to be submitted to and approved by the Special Commissioners created by the Public Schools Act 1868 to oversee the process of reform and these papers reflect the dialogue between the two bodies. The Commissioners' role was not that of a rubber stamp and the papers reveal considerable discussion and revision, particularly in respect of the role of Fellows.
Arrangement
In addition to the contemporary folders (/2, /3, /5) Blakiston's boxes contained many loose copies of the Statutes and Regulations, both as proposed and as finally issued, some with mss. alterations. There was also relevant correspondence and other written material. A box marked Public School Acts contained multiple copies of most of the printed material; up to 100 copies of individual items were ordered. The bulk of these have been discarded but examples have been kept and included with the loose material to form as complete a record as possible.
