This book outlines the progression of the Western Australian education system from the establishment of the colony to 1970. The treatment is chronologically based, and educational issues are analysed at each stage.
The role of religion in education, the government's responsibility to provide facilities, and the pros and cons of local versus centralised control of administration are of recurring importance. (book flap)
