The Three R s
Following the introduction of the Elementary Education Act, commonly known as Forsters Education Act, in February 1870, Punch magazine depicts William Forster, the Liberal MP who drafted the Act, addressing children from a poor background who it was intended to benefit. The caption reads, THE THREE R s; OR, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. Right Hon. W.E.Forster (Chairman of Board). " Well, my little people, we have been gravely and earnestly considering whether you may learn to read. I am happy to tell you that, subject to a variety of restrictions, conscience clauses, and the consent of your vestries, you may!" Date: 26 March 1870
