Title Infant Schools and Dissenters

Summary "Infant Schools and Dissenters" by John Alexander is a polemical text written in the 19th century. This book serves as a response to controversies surrounding infant education, particularly the roles of Church and Dissenting factions in that process, during the early Victorian era. The central focus of the book is to defend Alexander's previous "Letter of Affectionate Remonstrance" against misinterpretations and criticisms from figures such as William Geary and Rev. John Perowne. In the text, Alexander argues for a more inclusive approach to infant education that accommodates children from diverse religious backgrounds, including Dissenters. He addresses accusations of exclusivity in a proposed Infant School Society and defends the integrity and intentions of both his own stance and those of his fellow Dissenters. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the common Christian mission over denominational divisions, expressing hope for unity in educational efforts. Alexander systematically dismantles Perowne's arguments, criticizing the negative portrayal of Dissenters and advocating for a collaborative educational model that respects all faiths. This discourse not only highlights the educational concerns of the time but also reflects broader societal tensions between the established church and dissenting groups.
