Australia (life in the 1890s-1910s)

What sports were popular amongst the wealthy people?

Although there was a system of primary school, secondary education was not as well-resourced in 1900 and students who were able of enduring their education were delivered with special courses.

Aboriginal children were educated to be 'civilised'; that is to learn European culture and region. Aboriginal children could have enrolled into government schools from the 1870s. However, European parents were given the right to complain about the presence of Aboriginal children. From this time many Aboriginal children were prevented from going to government schools with white children so from the end of the 1800s and into the 1900s, the ‘whites’ were separated from the Aborigines.

Schools were open at least 220 days a year, which was regarded as progressively high for a non-industrial society.

Schools were modelled on English schools in both curriculum and organisation as there was a strong emphasis on loyalty to the British Empire. Lessons differed from reading, writing, arithmetic, history, grammar to geography.

Students were demanded to memorize their lessons as teachers would bring them up to the front of the class to recite what they learned so teachers could correct their pronunciation on the spot.

Christian churches were the first to institute schools in the colonies and were financially supported by the colonial governments. Gradually, government schools were set up, but the church schools continued to be subsided. In 1852, South Australia abolished state aid to denominational schools, and between years 1872 and 1895, other colonies followed the same route though the catholic church did protest against this concept.

Discipline was strict. Stepping out of line could result in detention, suspension or a lash.

There was a strong belief that all children had the right to the same level of education. This regulation affected some families as they were poor and in need of money and their only faith determined upon their children to work in the factories and family businesses.

In that social group people participated in; tennis, croquet, golf, polo, horseracing, cricket and theatre. In the 1890s, cycling clubs were established in Perth and Fremantle. In Melbourne, the first Australian Rules Football club began in 1859 and by 1877, there were around eight teams. However, during the 1890s, it was a widespread game as the majority of the Victorians moved to WA during the Gold Rushes. Family gatherings around a piano as well as cards and parlour games were the main forms of indoor entertainment for many Australians.
