A radical measure, the Endowed Schools Act of 1869, empowered Commissioners to prise endowment from the old grammar schools and to set up, for the first time, grammar schools for girls. Sheila Fletcher shows how, in practice, such attempts met determined opposition and argues that what was actually secured for girls depended largely on the zeal and persistence of the civil servants administering the Act. The first of these, the Endowed Schools Commissioners, presided over by Gladstone's friend and relative Lord Lyttelton, were staunch supporters of Women's education, but zeal proved their undoing. In 1874 they were dismissed by the Conservatives and the working of the Act was placed in the 'safe' hands of the Charity Commissioners. Feminist concern that girls would suffer from this changeover proved well founded; their share in endowments fell sharply in the reign of the Charity Commissioners which lasted until the end of the century. Indeed, the contrast between the two Commissions hi

本書是一則結合冒險與語言學習的雙語故事，全文以英文與法文對照呈現，適合已能以母語獨立閱讀的孩子。Tom 和 Sophie 在前往祖父家的旅途中，各自懷著不同心思，直到他們發現祖父最新的發明——一台能穿越時空的機器。隨著旅程展開，孩子在故事中自然接觸另一種語言，不必逐字查詢，也能在重複出現的語境中理解新詞彙。插畫與對話框設計，為閱讀提供清楚而安心的引導，讓學習語言成為一次充滿想像的探索。The interesting, illustrated bilingual stories in Let's Read! language-learning books are written for boys and girls who are independent readers in their own language. Titles in this series are available in both English-French and English-Spanish editions.

Boys and girls soon discover that they don't need to learn every single new word that they encounter in the second language. As unfamiliar words reappear in the story's context, kids will pick up their meaning effortlessly, just as they pick up and understand new words in their own language. The parallel text, illustrations, and dialogue balloons on each pag
