Starting from the point of the co-existence of two Royal Commissions on different aspects of elementary education in the period 1886-89, this study shows how educational provision for the pupil judged backward began to be divorced from that for the mainstream.
Gerald Haigh in The Times Educational Supplement - article about special needs, describes the book as "excellent".
