Schooling in Debenham
There were a lot of changes in the education system in Debenham
between 1833 and 1880 as the schools worked towards what was the best
system for the area. Some of these changes seem to have more meaning
to us as historians than others.
In 1833, Debenham had a number of schools. Firstly, it had three daily
schools, one of which was the Sir Robert Hitcham's school. This
contained 40 males and 15 females. Sir Robert Hitcham allowed the
school £30 per annum to use towards its budget. The rest was paid for
by fees from the students. The other two daily schools contained 44
males, and 34 females' altogether. These two schools were paid for
completely by fees. There were also two Sunday schools at the time.
Firstly, there was the Established Church, which would have been run
by the Church of England. This had 80 male students, and 60 female
students. Then there was the Independents school. This contained 152
students of both sexes. Both of the Sunday Schools were run by
contributions. From this, you can clearly see that the Sunday Schools
were more popular than the daily schools. This was probably because of
two reasons, the first being that Sunday Schools allowed you to work
on the fields in the week, leaving the person still earning. Another
reason was probably because no-one had to pay a fee to go to a Sunday
school.
Then, in 1835, we can see that the Government gave a trust deed to the
Established Church School. This was to instruct poor children of both
sexes in the parish of Debenham. This meant that the Government was
taking an interest in what was happening to the education in Debenham.

have changed the book for the good of sales. If they did not think
that it was lively enough at some points, or that the writer needed to
look more of a hero, then they may have changed it around.
James Cornish could also have exaggerated the events that took place
so as to make everything in his book seem better than it actually was.
From the above you can definitely see that source C had some reliable
features, such as the fact that it was written by a respected member
of society, but there are also a number of points that you can pick
out which discredit how good this source may have actually been. To
gain a more of an insight to how reliable this source was, I would
have to cross-reference with a number of other sources and see what
points they all agree on, and which points they do not.
Allotments could be sold after a statutory period (25 years), and “surplus” land. not allotted was opened to settlers. Within decades following the passage of the act the vast majority of what had been tribal land in the West was in white hands. The act also established a trust fund to collect and distribute proceeds from oil, mineral, timber, and grazing. leases on Native American lands.
Residential schools were institutions funded by the government for young indigenous peoples. The idea was to kill the Indian in the children, and to create Westernized youth. Many children revolted the idea, while others accepted it. Crucial development occurs in a child's mind between the ages of five and eight. In the novel Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden, a story is told of three Cree people who have experienced Residential Schools and who have been forever changed because of it. Xavier, Elijah and Niska are ripped from the comfort of their naturalistic and self sufficient communities and thrown into materialistic environments where they are shamed and defaced. Each of these characters experienced the Residential schools in extremely different

"Compressed emotions," that is the explanation a teacher once gave to the ongoing question, "What is poetry?" He said it was someone's deepest emotions, as if you were reading them right out of that person's mind, which in that case would not consist of any words at all. If someone tells you a story, it is usually like a shell. Rarely are all of the deepest and most personal emotions revealed effectively. A poem of that story would be like the inside of the shell. It personifies situations, and symbolizes and compares emotions with other things in life. Louise Erdrich's poem Indian Boarding School puts the emotions of a person or group of people in a setting around a railroad track. The feelings experienced are compared to things from the setting, which takes on human characteristics.

It was so important to them that they had wanted everyone to attend church. They expected them to follow the same religion.They were not allowed to celebrate christmas as stated in miller’s essay they did not celebrate Christmas, and a holiday from work meant only that they must concentrate even more upon prayer. They were expected to attend church every sunday and if not they were confronted about their absent.

The United States government in 1816 chartered the Second Bank of the United States. It had a 20-year charter, which was to expire in 1836. Despite this, the Bank was privately owned and during the age of Jackson, the president was Nicholas Biddle. The Bank was large in comparison to other banks, being responsible for 15-20% of bank loans in the United States and accounting for 40% of the bank notes in circulation. Also, the Bank held a specie reserve of 50% of the value of its notes, when normally other banks only had a specie reserve of 10-25% (Davis 1).
The Canadian Indian residential school system (Residential schools in Canada) was first established in the nineteenth century in1879. Residential schools were seen by the Canadian government as a way to civilize and educate the native aboriginals, and found this way and attempt to get rid of the Indian problem. In 1895 a Canadian governor stated in a report from a residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia that the purpose of the residential school is to civilize the Indian and to make them good, useful and law abiding members of society with strict punishments for any wrong doings. Their main reason was to kill the Indian in those children. The goal of residential schools was to convert Aboriginals into white society through children since they were easier to influence and adapt to the new lifestyle, because adults have already grown up on certain beliefs. Because long before Europeans came to North America, aboriginal people had system of education of their own. The aboriginal children were taught to survive on their own. Aboriginal elders and parents passed on their survival skills to their children.
