Title: From Universalism to Usurpation: An Essay on the Antecedents to Compulsory School Attendance Legislation.
Authors: Everhart, Robert B.1
Source: Review of Educational Research. Summer77, Vol. 47 Issue 3, p499-530. 32p.
Subject Terms: *School attendance, *School administration, *Education, *Compulsory education, *Legislation, Universalism (Theology), Legislative bills
Abstract: This paper presents a historical overview of the precursors to compulsory school attendance. The essay is based largely upon secondary sources that directly or marginally discuss compulsory attendance, and consequently the focus is one of review and synthesis rather than one of original interpretation. Here, the author has chosen to concentrate upon what may be termed the antecedents to the passage and enforcement of the laws. By antecedents, he refers to the conditions that seemed influential in the ultimate passage and enforcement of compulsory attendance laws. The author then focuses on the inchoate stages of schooling within the Republic. Next, he turns to the Common School movement during the early and middle nineteenth century and shows how the dominance of the Common School led to an overall restriction of educational choice for the majority of those in the society. Finally, he considers the events surrounding the actual passage and enforcement of the laws themselves.
