Offence understanding
« on: Sunday 18 March 18 16:50 GMT (UK) »
Hello!

I have 2 records for Philip Eastel in Plymouth but i don't really understand them?

The first one lists 'offence against education act' and was fined.

The second one (see image) is 'offence against elementary ? ?'

Anyone know what the words after elementary are? and what is offence against education act & elementary?


Thanks in advance  :)

"Elementary Edn Acts" so the same offence - whatever that was!  :-\
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

The 1880 Education Act established attendance officers to enforce attendance and parents could be fined for keeping their children out of school.

In this respect, the two most significant Acts were the Elementary Education Act of 1880, which made school attendance compulsory, .........

1880 Elementary Education Act
The 1880 Elementary Education Act (26 August 1880) obliged local authorities (as designated by the 1876 Elementary Education Act) to make byelaws requiring school attendance, and provided for penalties in cases where 10-13 year olds were illegally employed. It thus effectively established in practice the universal education which the 1870 Act had declared in principle.
