A Plea for Ragged Schools, Or, Prevention Better Than Cure - Thomas Guthrie - Bog

This influential work was published in 1847 and advocates for the creation and support of schools for impoverished children, who would otherwise not have access to education. Guthrie, a Scottish minister and social reformer, founded several such institutions and believed that education was a way to break the cycle of poverty and social inequality.
