註釋This study attempts to outline the growth of state technical and secondary education in Brighton in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, discusses access to both types of education and describes the relationship between the Brighton School Board and the Brighton Technical Instruction Committee. Attention is focused in particular on access to institutions supplying technical and secondary education, the types of knowledge taught therein and on access to the educational decision-making committees in the town (School Board, Technical Instruction Committee and Education Committee), Where possible comparisons are made between the position in Brighton and other towns or the national scene. The sources used were largely documentary. Manuscript documents studied were minutes, annual reports, yearbooks of various educational committees, and logbooks, prospectuses, calendars and magazines of the institutions concerned. Printed original sources of Immense value were the local Brighton newspapers, which added colour and detail and often gave much more Information on the conflicts that raged in the town than did the manuscript sources. In addition, a variety of secondary sources including census material, theses and a range of texts were consulted. The conclusions of this essay note that access to socially valued knowledge, to prestigious institutions and to controlling committees was dominated by middle-class males. The thesis also points up the way in which the leaders of some originally private educational institutions were able to use state educational developments to maximise advantages for their schools and their largely middle-class pupils. In addition, the study Indicates that the Higher Grade School in York Place, which was originally built to accommodate the children of lower middle-class and artisan parents, gradually became more socially exclusive.
