 Building the Educational State: Canada West, 1836--1871. by Paul W. Bennett   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)

The development of state schooling in Canada West is stripped of its ''positivist' clothing; public education brings political subjectation and moral regulation rather than onward and upward social progress.
In Curtis's book we see the governing classes utilizing their power and influence to construct a form of state instruction that destroys or marginalizes earlier, locally controlled schools and substitutes a new set of routine procedures and disciplinary practices aimed at the population as a whole.
