Book Description
We tend to think of contemporary concern for reform in education as unprecedented in its intensity and scope. But as this book about mid-nineteenth century educational ideology shows, the urge to improve society through its schools has been with us a long time. The author examines the attitudes that shaped the Ontario public school system during its formative years, when Upper Canadians first explored and the provincial government finally adopted the principle of compulsory mass schooling under the auspices and control of the state.

Book Description
Sociology of Education in Canada utilizes a contemporary theoretical focus to analyze how education in Canada is affected by pre-existing and persistent inequalities among members of society. It presents the historical and cultural factors that have shaped our current education system, examines the larger social trends that have contributed to present problems, discusses the various interest groups involved, and analyzes the larger social discourses that influence any discussion of these issues. To achieve this, Karen Robson uses many current, topical, and relatable issues in Canadian education to ensure that readers fully comprehend the information being presented and leave with an appreciation of how the sociology of education is inextricably linked to issues of stratification.

Book Description
This part-biographical and part-historical account of the development of education for the masses in the Canadian state of Ontario. Egerton Ryerson was a somewhat controversial figure in 19th-century Canada; a staunch methodist and opposed to the Anglican church. The book shows how his work changed the course of education in Ontario. This novel by the prolific writer Stanley John Weyman takes us back to early seventeenth-century France. The central character is a twelve-year-old orphan boy, Jehan, who has the great misfortune to fall into the clutches of the cruel man in black. Weyman has the art of transporting his readers into the scene that he describes and this novel is a tense, suspenseful, and page-turning thrill of a read.
