Abstract

People with even a superficial knowledge of educational history are aware that in Rugby continued education of one day a week is compulsory for all young school leavers until the age of 16. They usually know this is the last relic of the stillborn experiment in compulsory day continuation education catered for by the 1918 Education Act. They know that day continuation schools were opened in some areas in the early 1920s, and all were closed within a year or 18 months except at Rugby. Apart from these, little accurate information is common knowledge though the passage of time has woven a web of myth around the event.
