✨ Education Report Conclusion
286
The locality presents many advantages from its healthiness, and as forming a centre for a rapidly increasing agricultural population.
CONCLUSION.
The Commission have now adverted to those points out of which, as they believe, the main difficulties connected with the establishment of a satisfactory system of education are likely to arise.
Whether the proposals here made will be ultimately adopted or not, it appears at all events clear that the questions raised will require to be dealt with whatever scheme may eventually be brought into operation. These questions once decided upon, the actual organization for setting the machinery in motion will be a work requiring comparatively but a small amount of labour or trouble.
Although the Commission are conscious that the present report by no means exhausts the whole subject, yet it is hoped that the materials collected, whether in the form of facts, or of conclusions drawn from these facts, will at all events serve to direct attention to the questions which principally demand consideration, and the solution of which, it is conceived, will determine the general principles to be acted on in future.
The Commission have endeavoured to confine the discussion as much as possible to these general principles, and with a view to this have avoided where they could do so making specific proposals as to minute particulars, or otherwise so overlaying or obscuring with detail the broad outline of the plan which they desire to recommend, as to cause the essential points to be overlooked or altogether lost sight of.
