Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Education, 1834, Vol. 8 Persons in wealthy circumstances are very much inclined to blame parents among the lower classes for not sending their children to school, and they often ascribe this to a culpable neglect of their children's welfare, or to ignorance. But we think they will readily acquit them of neglect, when they remember the well-known observation, that poor parents have often a much greater affection for their children than those who are rich. The charge of ignorance is somewhat better founded. Few persons in the lowest classes have any very distinct idea of the advantages resulting from a good education to their children, but most of them are sensible that some advantage may arise from it. By persuasion and sound reasoning their conceptions respecting this point would doubtless be much enlarged, and might even beget a resolu tion of following the dictates of this conviction. But'we ap prehend that it will produce the desired effect with compara tively few. By the birth of a child new hardships, burdens, and privations are imposed on poor people. The attention of the mother is taken up for a long time by the care she must bestow on the child, and she can contribute nothing, or very little, to the stock from which their domestic wants are to be supplied.
